Applies to England

Documents

Details

This guidance is for:

  • local authorities
  • school leaders
  • school teachers
  • governing bodies and their representatives

It relates to local authority maintained schools, academies (including free schools), hospital schools, non-maintained special schools, independent special schools, and centrally employed teachers in England.

There is also guidance on additional pensions funding available for further education.

We will update our guidance on 16 to 19 pensions funding in schools for 2024 to 2025 by end April.

For early years, we have already included additional funding in published core rates for 2024 to 2025.

Methodology

This document sets out the methodology for teachers’ pension employer contribution grant (TPECG) 2024. This includes guidance on how we will allocate funding in the 2024 to 2025 financial year for mainstream schools (for the 5 to 16-year-old age range), special schools (including maintained special schools, special academies and free schools, hospital schools, non-maintained special schools and independent special schools) and alternative provision, and local authorities with centrally employed teachers.

Allocations and conditions of grant

We will publish allocations and conditions of grant in spring 2024.

To help schools with their planning, we have created a calculator for mainstream schools and academies to estimate what their TPECG 2024 allocation for 2024 to 2025 will be.
