thè y&ar includes contributions payable to the TPS of £206,34612019'. £147,463> and at the year end £C>12019.' £01
was acorltèd in ¥especl of Gontribulions lo this scheme.
Th8 TPS is an unlunded mul1i-emplo￿r defined benefits penslon scheme gov8rned by The Tea¢hèrs' Pensions
R8gulalions 2010 las amended) and Th6 Teachers. Pension Scheme Regulations 2014 las arllendèdl. Members
contribule on a'pay as you go" basis wlth contributions from members and the employer being creditèd to the
Exch8qu6r. Retirement and other pension benefils are paid by publlc funds providod by Pdrliamgnl.
The employer conliibutlon rate is sel by Ihe Secretary of State followng scheme valuatlons undertaken by the
Gtsvomment Acluatys Départment. The tnOs1 recent actuarial valuation of the TPS was prepared as al 31 March
2016 and the Valuation R8POrt. which was published in Mar¢h 2019, confirmed Ihal the employer contribution rate lor
the TPS would Increase from 16.40h to 23.6tsA from 1 September 2019. Employers are al80 requlred lo pay a scheme
adminislralion levy ol 0.08D/o giving a lolal emplo>￿[ oontrlbutlon rale of 23.68°1¢.
The 31 March 2016 Valuation Repc>rt was prepared in a¢oord8nce Mfjlh the bonefils set out in the sch¢me regulations
and under the approach specified in Ihe Direullons, as they èpplied at 5 March 2019. However, th8 assumptions weTe
considered and set by tho Department lor Education prior to the ruling in the'McCloudlSargeant case.. Thls case has
required tho courts lo consider cases regarding IhB implementation of the 2015 reforms lo Public Servi¢a Ponslons
including the T&achers' Penslons.
On 27 June 2Q19 the Supreme Court d8nSèd the government p8tmSsslon to appeal the Court of Appeal's ludgrnenl
that Iranslfjonal provisions Intrc>duced to the rèformed pension schemes in 2015 g8vé rise to unlawful age
discriminatlon. The govemment is respeGling the Court's d8￿SiOn and has said il wlll angage fully with the
Employment Tribunal as well as employer and member represenlal(ves to agree how the discriminations will b6
remediod. A Consultation wa5 launched by thé government on 16 July 2020. and closéd to responses on 11 October
2020.
ThB TPS is subject to a cost cap mochanism which was pul In place lo protect tsxpayers against unforeseen changès
in scheme costs. Thè Chief Secretary to the Treasury, having In 2018 announcad Ihat there would be a review ol this
cost oap mechanism, In January 2019 announced a pause lo the cost cap meohanlsm following the Court ofAppeo1'g
ruling in the Mccloudlsargeant case and untll there is cèrtainty aboul the valu8 of pensions lo employees from April
2015 onwards. The paugè was lifted in July 2020 and the govornmenl is prgparlng to comp18tg th8 c051 conlrol
element ol the 2016 valuations. which is expected lo be compl&l¢d In 2021.
In view ol thè above rullngs and decisions tha assumptions used in th6 31 March 2C116 Actuarial Valuation may
become inappropriate. In this scenario, a valuation pr&pared in ac¢ordance with revised benefits and suitably revised
assL¢mptions would weld dillgrenl results than those contained in thè Acluarial Valu81ion.
Until the consu51allon and the cost cap mechanism review are completed it Is not posslbl& to concludè on any
financlal lrnpacl or future ¢hang&s lo tha contribution iales of the TPS. Accordingly no provision for any additional
past ben6flt pension Cosls Is includgd in these financial slalembnts.
The People's Penslon
The company operÈt6s a definod ¢ontribulion tEnsion scheme for all quallfylng ernploy6és. The assels of Iho
s¢heme are hold separately from Iht>se of the company in an independgntly administerpd fund. The charge lo th8
slalèmenl of financial a¢tSvitles in respect of the defined contribution schemg was £13D,04512019: £100,493).
