our education insurance
Why Ecclesiastical for education insurance?
Ecclesiastical offers first class education insurance to a wide range of educational establishments including nurseries and pre-school care, independent schools, sixth form and further education colleges, vocational, technical and arts colleges and universities.
Our cover is based on over 40 years’ experience of underwriting across the education sector so we truly understand the changing needs of brokers and customers within this market.
We have the capacity to write both small and large risks. We accommodate several major exposures within our existing portfolio – including Eton College.
Before developing our education insurance policy, we consulted brokers and end-customers to ensure the result was a policy that offers real value and sets us apart in this specialist area.
