Information: Teachers’ pension employer contribution grant and Teachers’ pay additional grant for financial year 2024 to 2025
To provide extra clarity, the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) has amended the 2024 to 2025 teachers’ pension employer contribution grant (TPECG 24) and the Teachers’ pay additional grant (TPAG) 2024 to 2025 documents.
The amendments were made to the:
-
methodology documents – we have provided additional explanation of the data sources for the allocation calculations
-
allocation tables – we have provided extra clarity on the calculation of the grant
The 2024 to 2025 teachers’ pension employer contribution grant (TPECG 24) also includes updates to:
- conditions of grant – we have clarified how local authorities should account for the additional cost of the employer contribution rate for teachers belonging to the teachers’ pension scheme who work in independent schools for pupils with SEND and education, health and care (EHC) plans who have increased their fees to cover this cost. This is not a change in policy, rather it aligns the TPECG 2024 conditions of grant with the grant methodology previously published
