Our commitment to independent schools

Zurich is a specialist in education insurance and risk management solutions. For over 100 years we have been working with education establishments, including independent schools, foundation schools, state schools, colleges and universities.

We handle over 100,000 claims a year and have an excellent knowledge of the specific issues and risks faced by education establishments.

We view independent schools as a unique group and price for the long term. We are ‘here today and here tomorrow’ whereas some insurers will only offer cover when claims are low but will exit the market when times are tough. This means that our premiums remain relatively constant ensuring our customers have more budget certainty.  

Enhancing your reputation by supporting your needs

As a direct insurance provider we are able to work more closely with your organisation. This helps us to fully understand your specific needs and build strong, long-term, mutually beneficial working relationships.

A partnership approach allows us to give you the right support at the right time. This is particularly important should the unexpected occur - you can rely on us to work with you to get your school back to normal as quickly as possible and to protect your interests.

We also provide general risk advice through our customer publications and a dedicated team in association with SFS Group Ltd. This will help you adopt best risk management practice and safer ways of working.
