A Smarter Insurance Approach for Independent Schools

Specialist cover, clear advice, and ongoing support for independent schools

Insurance That Keeps Pace with Your School

Independent schools face a unique mix of governance, safeguarding, estates, financial and reputational risks. The insurance market doesn’t stand still. At Hayes Parsons Insurance Brokers, we help bursars and leadership teams build resilient, cost-effective, well-structured insurance programmes that protect your school today and adapt as your risks evolve.

With decades of experience supporting the sector, we understand your unique risks, challenges, and priorities, both the everyday and the unexpected.

How We Support Independent Schools

A joined-up, school-first programme

We take the time to understand how your school operates — from boarding and estates to sport, trips, lettings and safeguarding — then tailor cover to your real risks.

Clear advice with strong market access

We are an independent broker, with wide insurer access so we can approach the right insurers for your school and keep your programme competitive.

Practical risk management advice

Insurance is only part of the picture. We work closely with independent schools to identify key risks and provide practical risk management advice that supports good governance and helps reduce claims. The focus is always on proportionate, workable solutions.

Dedicated, ongoing support

Ongoing support is central to our education service. Our team stays involved all year, helping with claims and queries as issues arise, so your insurance feels calmer, more controlled, and never just a renewal conversation.
