School Insurance

[Dyson]

I have an insurance (which is the norm over here) for my daughter at school and she recently had her sports bag stolen from her school peg, trainers, jogging suit etc. I phoned the insurance MAE because I saw that cartables, fournitures et manuels scolaires are covered up to 65 euros.

To claim this I have to gather all this paperwork:-

a) goto the gendarmerie and porte plaint reporting the theft and therefore obtaining receipt
b) get an attestation from the school secretary as to the date and place it went missing
c) copy of the school weekly timetable to precis when sport takes place at the school
d) photocopy of the MAE insurance certificate
e) attestation sur lhonneur from me describing the bag and contents, with original receipts (if poss)

Drives you mad doesnt it, do they think people have nothing better to do!

I was going to post a message asking about school insurance, and lo and behold you seem to be the person to ask. Our 2 older ones start Primaire in August and little one into Maternelle.
Is insurance compulsory? How much is it(ballpark)? What's it for? Is it just a private school thing? Has your keyboard gone mental?
Any help gratefully received.
