What does language school insurance cover?
There are many commercial risks attached to running a language school that will vary depending on the size of your organisation and extent of your activities. Our dedicated team of specialists will work with you to understand these requirements and put forward the right insurance solution for you, giving expert advice along the way.
In addition to covers that you may be legally required to have in place (such as employers’ liability insurance), you should consider staple covers such as public liability, buildings and/or contents, professional indemnity and business interruption. Cyber is also a field of insurance that’s gradually moving from a “nice-to-have” to a “must-have”, with businesses facing a heightened risk of data breaches in recent years.
We have an established offering which provides international travel insurance for your students, protecting hundreds of thousands of overseas students each year through over 100 different education providers across the UK.
International student travel insurance for language schools
Due to our current global challenges there will be a much greater need for bespoke travel insurance for international students in 2021, and for education providers to have the security of working directly with an insurance provider who understands their concerns. International student travel insurance with Endsleigh offers an extension to the level of care you give to your students.
What does international student travel insurance cover for language schools?
We currently protect hundreds of thousands of overseas students each year through over 100 different education providers across the UK. So we understand that international students have unique needs, and that parents naturally want reassurance their children will be properly protected throughout their stay in the UK.
As part of your insurance package we can also provide international student travel insurance, which offers parents peace of mind that their kids are protected from the moment they apply to study at your institution, through their journey to the UK, and until they return home.
This not only helps ensure you’re fulfilling your duty of care to your students, but it could also make your establishment’s offering more inviting to prospective parents and agents.
Cover can either be included in your overall study abroad package, or offered as an optional extra – either way, our specialist travel team will work with you to make sure you have the right solution in place that benefits both your students and your business.

How can students benefit?
We currently protect hundreds of thousands of overseas students each year through over 100 different education providers across the UK. So we understand that students have unique needs, particularly when there’s international travel involved.
Whether it’s protecting irrecoverable pre-paid costs if a student has to cancel or cut a trip short, or if a student falls ill during their trip to the UK, we can offer flexible cover options tailored to your requirements - with the opportunity to earn additional revenue on individual products as a regulated partner. Not only that, but with the recent COVID-19 challenges we are continuously adapting our policies to make sure we’re providing students with the cover they need through the uncertain times.
We’ll work with you to make sure you have the right cover in place for your students and their activities, including:
Cancellation or curtailment
Cover for irrecoverable unused costs that the student has to pay if the trip is cancelled or cut short as a result of an unforeseen event (such as an illness or injury).
Course fee cover
Financial protection for irrecoverable prepaid course or tuition fees if the student is unable to continue their studies due to an unforeseen event.
Medical emergency and other expenses
Should a student get injured or fall ill on a trip, we’ll cover the costs for any medical treatment, hospital and ambulance fees, as well as cover for emergency dental treatment. You can also extend cover to include private medical costs.
Medical repatriation costs
Cost for transport and accommodation expenses for close relatives to travel to the student in the UK, including reasonable additional costs for funeral expenses or returning their body to their home country following a death.
Baggage and personal possessions
Cover for students’ personal belongings if they’re accidentally lost, damaged or stolen while they’re studying in the UK.

Missed departure
The cost of additional transport and accommodation costs if the student has missed their public transport from or to their home country as a result of an insured event.
