Under financial regulations, the School must pass on the 20% premium reduction to parents /guardians who wish to
have their child included in the Schools Pupil Personal Accident Insurance. The parents / guardians can accept the
reduction off the individual premium or alternatively submit the higher amount allowing the School to retain the full
20% premium reduction towards School funds.
No, the 20% premium reduction only applies when schools apply or renew their policy online.
We need your school level (either Primary School (including Special Schools) or Secondary School), school name, full

and, if you are renewing your current policy, you also need to provide your Pupil Personal Accident policy number. No

(i.e. Option A - Common Cover, Option B - Optional Cover).

together with the school roll number. The reference number will be contained on your confirmation page which
printed when you completed your online application as well as on the email sent to the school email address provided
at the purchase/renewal application.
