IPPN Irish Primary Principals' Network, the professional body for Irish primary school leaders

As leading school insurer in the country and Platinum Sponsor of  IPPN, Allianz have served the insurance needs of schools throughout Ireland for many decades. Our current school protection policy together with our Pupil Personal Accident Policy (30% discount available on-line) ensures that your school has the most comprehensive protection available in the market.

The benefits your school will avail of when they insure with Allianz

• The most comprehensive school insurance policy cover on the market at very competitive premiums
• A dedicated specialist education team to take care of you and all your insurance needs
• A specialist local representative who upon request, can visit your school, offer advice and solve any insurance related queries you may have
• A recently published comprehensive Risk Management guide for Safety and Security in schools. This contains advice on everything from general insurance queries, health & safety advice, advice on Safety Statements - detailing how you can compile them yourself - and much more
• A dedicated education website with information on the Allianz Pupil Personal Accident and School Protection Policies. It also contains our back catalogue of Allianz School Journals, our Guide to Insurance, Safety and Security in the school and other helpful resources such as claim forms

Pupil Personal Accident Insurance

We offer a pupil personal accident policy at extremely competitive prices of between €4 & €8. A unique benefit of the Allianz Pupil Personal Accident Policy is that it does not limit the time in which follow on claims can be made. For example, if a claim is made by a pupil for dental expenses when he/she is 6 yrs old, they may have follow on costs for years to come as a result. Our Pupil Personal Accident Policy will continue to pay these dental expenses (subject to the limit of  €30,000) until the need for care has ceased.

Purchasing the Allianz Pupil Personal Accident Policy has never been easier. Simply log onto www.allianz.ie/schools, proceed to the Pupil Personal Accident section of the website and purchase your policy. There is a 20% discount for applying on-line.
