At 2pm on Tuesday 24 November, education pensions specialists from First Actuarial will draw on their experience advising independent schools to discuss the practical implications of the reduction in Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS) employer contribution rates from April 2027.

For many schools, this represents an opportunity to be proactive rather than reactive on pension strategy. We will explore how schools can use this moment to strengthen their long-term position.

The webinar will cover:

• Are lower TPS costs a game changer or simply welcome breathing space?
• If your school stayed in the TPS, does the new rate validate that decision?
• How can hybrid approaches and dual pay scales work in this new environment?
• Should schools revisit their DC contribution structures?
• How can schools make the most of the potential savings?
• Is now an opportunity to enhance the overall benefits package for staff?
• What decisions should bursars and governors be considering now?
