About SFS Group

Our History:

SFS Group Ltd has been a market leader in the provision of insurance in independent education since 1991.

We have specialised in providing well targeted, value for money and uniquely designed products for parents, children and independent schools for over twenty years.

In the last ten years the Scheme has paid out over £15.8 million to schools in claims following the death of an insured parent.

About Us – Angus Cater talks with BBC Radio 4′s Ernie Rea on what makes SFS Group unique.

Insurance products for independent schools, families & students in independent education and at university.

For families:

We provide a range of insurance products to cover families as their children progress through the independent education system, protecting personal possessions, school fees and finances against unwanted and unexpected interruptions. We ensure children continue to be educated with minimal interruption and maximum support during troubled times, even when the family is not in a position to do so.

“I am surely the proudest mum in the country! but seriously I can not thank you and your organisations enough for helping enable David to complete his education.”

A crucial scheme – Angus Cater talks to BBC Radio 4′s Ernie Rea on why parents should join the School Fees Trust Scheme.

For university students:

As your children progress from school to university, we can continue to look after them and make sure that their university education and their personal possessions are also protected from the unexpected.

For schools:

We provide insurance, a fees in advance scheme and risk management solutions for independent schools and staff.  SFS also advise on best practice and support all aspects of risk and crisis management planning and implementation.
