In autumn 2014, the Secretary of State for Education commissioned a review into the possible health and deployment implications of teachers working longer as a result of the increase in Normal Pension Age (NPA) in the Teachers’ Pension Scheme and the link between the Normal Pension Age (NPA) and State Pension Age (SPA). The Working Longer Review Group, made up of employers, unions and Department for Education representatives, explored the possible implications of teachers working longer and considered options that may mitigate them.

You might be interested in learning about the findings and recommendations of the Working Longer Review Group from their final report (This link opens in a new window) (published in November 2018).

The group continue to work on delivering their recommendations, so if you have any comments or feedback on the report, please let them know (This link opens in a new window).
