Note: the above answers refer only to claims that have been covered and handled by the council’s insurers. It does not include any data for, e.g., any academy schools or free schools (whether new schools or ex-maintained schools that have converted to academy status) as the council does not insure such schools. Further, a number of Wokingham’s maintained schools now make their own separate insurance arrangements, and the above data does not include any claims that might have been made under such arrangements (although it is understood that no such claims or payments have been made under schools’ own insurance covers).
