Teachers who are members of the Teachers’ Pensions Scheme can make Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVC’s) to a group facility administrated by Prudential. The AVC facility offers teachers the facility to pay AVC’s in order to provide an additional pension and/or improve death cover by purchasing additional life assurance. This is in addition to the facility within the Teachers’ Pensions Scheme to purchase added years. Click
