Girls' Day School Trust: Workplace Pensions
(asked on 31st January 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether his Department has had discussions with Girls' Day School Trust on planned industrial action by members of the NASUWT and NEU over the Trust's plan to withdraw from the Teachers’ Pension Scheme.
This question was answered on 3rd February 2022
The department has not had discussions with the Girls' Day School Trust about its proposal to withdraw from the teachers’ pension scheme (TPS).
Independent schools participate in the TPS voluntarily and are therefore free to leave the scheme, following appropriate consultation with their staff and provision of alternative pension arrangements, if they wish to do so.
