Education Insurance

1. School Staff Absence insurance

Staff absence can have a huge impact on the running of a school. The cost of covering absent teachers and members of staff in a school can easily accumulate, particularly with the ever-growing demands on the education sector in the UK. With the focus being on continued learning for students, it’s important that in the event school staff are unable to work, a supply teacher or temporary replacement can be found, without the worry of how much it costs. 

This is why more and more schools are choosing to commercially insure against this risk, with a school staff absence policy. 

Key features

  • Market-leading health and wellbeing service included with every policy
  • Cover for individual schools, trusts, federations and cluster groups

2. Insurance for Independent Schools

We provide a genuine insurance broking service, with the option of at least three insurers and will recommend the most appropriate based on scope of cover and price. This avoids spending a lot of time dealing with several brokers who individually produce one quote from the same insurers, which makes it difficult for you to make an objective comparison.

Key features

The covers we arrange for you will provide a complete insurance programme including:

  • Property damage, business interruption, employers and public liability (including abuse cover), hirers liability and contract works
  • Professional indemnity, governors and trustees liability, fidelity and crime/fraud, employment practices protection and legal expenses
  • Cyber liability
  • Motor, breakdown and occasional business use
  • School trip and overseas travel
  • Engineering inspection and insurance
