PINEWOOD SCHOOL LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMEf4TS {eontinued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED JI AUGUST 2021 PENSIOTrI SCHEME The Teachers, Pension Scheme and Group Per50tfdl Pension Sch¢me operdted by Legal & General were closed during the year and the School sd up a new Group Personal Pension Plpn with Royal London. Teachers, Pension Seheme (TPS) The School has participated in the Teachers, Pension Scheme fthe TPS") foT its lea¢hing staff. but left Ihe scheme on 31 August 2020. The pension char8c for the year Includ contributions payable to the TPS of £Nil (2020.. £492.399} and at the year¢nd £Nil (2020- £Nil) was &rUed in resp¢ of contributions to this scheme. The TPS is an unfunded multL<Inployer d¢fined benefits pension scheme governed by The Teachers, Pensions Regulations 2010 (as amended) and The Teachers, Pension kheme Regulation5 2014 (a5 amended). Membe contribute on a "pay as you go" b&si5 Wlth contributions from m¢inbers and the employer belng credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefits ar¢ paid by public fund5 provided by Parliament. The employer contribution rate is by the Secretary of State following scheme valuations undertaken by the Government Actuary's Departsnent. The most recent actuarial valuaiion of the TPS was prepared as at 31 March 2016 and the Valuation Report, which was published in March 2020. confirn)ed that the employer coniribution rnt¢ for the TPS would increase from 16.40/0 to 23.61J/o from I September 220. Employers are also required to Pay 8 scheTne adrninistrdtion levy of 0.080h giving a total employer contribuiion rate of 23.68Ph. The 31 March 2016 Valuation Rewrt was prepared in accordance with the benefits set out in the %hem¢ regulation5 and under th¢ approach specified in the Direction& as they applied at 5 March 2020. However, the assumption5 were considered and Set by th¢ Department for Education prior to the ruling in (he 'McCloudlSar8¢ont ¢as¢'. This case has required the courts to consider cases regarding the implemeniation of the 2015 reforms io Public SeTvi¢e Pension5 including the Teh¢[s, Pensions. On 27 June 2019 the Supreme Court denied the govemmeni perniission to appeal the Court of Appeal'5 judgment that trdn51tional provisions introduced to the refomed pension schemes in 2015 gave rise to unlawful age di5crirnination. The government is respecting the Court's decision and has said it will engage fvlly with the Employment Tribunal as well as employer and member representatives to agree how th¢ di5¢riminations will be remedied. A ¢onsultation was launched by the government on 16 July 2021. and closed to r¢spon5¢s on I l October 2021. The TPS 15 subje¢l to a cosl cap mechanism which was put in place io proteu taxpayers against unforeseen chang¢5 in 5chem¢ costs. The Chief Secreiary to the Treasury. having in 2018 announeed that ther¢ would be a review of this cost ¢ap mhanIsM, in January 2020 announced a pause to the cosi cap me¢hani5m following the Court of App¢al's ruling in the Mccloudlsargeani case and until there is certainty about th¢ valu¢ of pensions to employee5 from April 2015 onwards. The pause was lifted in July 2021 and ihe governrn¢nt 15 preparing to complete the cost ontrol eleinent of the 2016 valuations, which is cxpttied to be COTnplet¢d in 2021. In view of the above rulings and decisfrons the assumptions used in the 31 Mah 2016 Actuarial Valuation may become inappropriate. In this scenario, a valuation prepared in accordan¢e with revised benefits and suitably revised assumptions would yield different results than those eontaithed in the Artuaria] Valuation. Until the consultation and the cost cap mechanism review are completrd it 15 not possible to conclude on any financial impact or tUre changes to the contribution rdtes of th¢ TPS. Accordingly no Provision for any additional past benefit pension costs is included in these firIcIal stal¢m¢nts. Group Personal Pension Sebeme The contributions for the year io the Group Personal Pension 5cheme5 were £108,822 (2020 - £17.426) and at the yearvend £48,273 (2020- £1.000) payable in r¢spxt of ¢ontributions to these schemes.
