pensions and independent schools

[Pesk]

I might be offered a job teaching primary age children in an independent school. I've paid into the teacher's pension scheme all my working life and want to know what my options are if my new school aren't part of the pension scheme. Can I keep my teacher's pension going on my own or does it need an employer to comtribute?

If you're a member of a union, have a word with your local branch - even if you're not a member you can still ring anonymously & they should be able to tell you.
