Personal Accident Cover for Pupils and Staff

Pays a benefit plus specified expenses if a declared pupil or employee suffers accidental bodily injury that results in their death, disablement or other specified injury.

Cover applies 24 hours a day and on a worldwide basis. It could reduce the number of potential negligent acts claims against the school’s own insurance, helping to avoid potential tensions between parents, staff and school.

School Fees

Provides financial protection for parents (or other fee payer) by covering fees the payer is legally liable to pay if the pupil can’t attend school due to injury or illness, or if the fee payer suffers accidental death.

For you, it provides reassurance that fees will be paid, and maintains the goodwill of parents (or other fee payer) during any period of absence.

Pupils' Personal Belongings

It’s likely your school won’t accept responsibility for physical loss or damage to the personal belongings of pupils. This could leave parents facing a hefty bill, especially with the popularity of expensive mobiles, tablets and laptops.

This policy provides comprehensive cover including out of school hours cover and accidental damage with no excess.

Pupil based schemes provide independent schools with the opportunity to offer added value to parents, ensuring financial protection for them against the unexpected, as well as protecting your school.
These solutions have been developed to ensure simplicity and ease of administration.

Pupils' / Staff Personal Accident Cover*

Despite everyone’s best intentions, accidents do happen and can have life-changing consequences.

Pupils' Personal Belongings Cover

With an increasing number of pupils bringing a range of high value items into school, it can be surprising just how expensive loss or damage to pupil belongings can be. Given that most schools don’t accept any responsibility for loss or damage to pupil belongings, pupils' personal belongings cover provides protection for these items.
A range of different personal belongings can be covered, including mobiles, laptops, tablet computers, musical instruments, jewellery and bicycles.

Where the Cover Stands Out

Pupils' personal belongings cover is designed with pupils in mind and offers a comprehensive cover including:

  • Belongings covered whilst at the school, during school trips and uninterrupted travel to and from the school
  • Cover for computers, mobile phones and tablet computers included as standard
  • No policy excesses, so when a claim is paid out it is for the full amount

Cover at a Glance

- Cover options of £3,000 and £5,000 per pupil - Cover applies on a worldwide basis, excluding Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria or Yemen

Requirements and Restrictions at a Glance

School Fees Cover

When a pupil’s attendance is interrupted through accident or sickness, you want to ensure that you can maintain both your revenue and the goodwill of parents. School fees cover is designed to meet the cost of school fees that continue to be payable when a pupil is absent from school due to:

  • Illness, sickness, disease or accidental injury, or
  • Closure of the school as a result of a disease outbreak and where remote learning cannot be provided

Any amount paid under the cover is payable to the person(s) who have a contractual obligation with the school to pay the fees.

Where the Cover Stands Out

School Fees cover helps protect your school for loss of revenue due to pupil absence. Cover includes:

  • Illness, disease, sickness or injury - up to five continuous terms or 18 months’ worth of fees – but limited to 90% of this amount for boarding pupils
  • School closure due to disease outbreak – up to two weeks’ worth of fees
  • No requirements for medical certification for absences of less than 14 consecutive days

Cover at a Glance

  • Additional cover included for accidental death of a fee payer (aged 79 or less) or of a pupil – providing up to five continuous terms or 18 months’ worth of fees
  • Additional cover included for withdrawal of a pupil – up to one terms’ worth of fees if for disciplinary reasons, and up to 75% of one terms’ worth of fees for any other reason
  • Crisis containment costs up to £25,000

Requirements and Restrictions at a Glance

  • Termly declaration to be provided by the school to Aon of persons to be insured
  • Minimum absence periods apply – four consecutive days for a day pupil and three consecutive days for a boarding pupil
