Teachers’ pension employer contribution grant supplementary fund

A reminder that the window for mainstream schools and academies to submit their actual pensions costs if they wish to make claim for supplementary funding closes tomorrow, Friday 17 January 2020. Claims from mainstream schools and academies will not be accepted after that date.

Supplementary funding is payable where the increase in those employer teachers’ pension costs exceeds the amount of the pensions grant by more than 0.05% of total budget.

You can submit a claim online.

Guidance notes on completing the form and more details about the supplementary fund are available.
