Laptop insurance for under 16

Options
Looking for some help and guidance from all you experts out there.

My son has a new laptop and will be taking it back and forth school each day in the new term to assist him with his work in school.

I am looking for some insurance in case he loses it or damages it.

Cannot seem to find anything that will cover him as he is just 14.

Can anyone offer any help / advice guidance / pointers?

    Should be covered under your household policyif you have a personal possessions extension. To be honest unless it is very expensive I would self-insure.

    All my daughter takes is a memory stick. No need to take a laptop. They have plenty of computers there already.

    As above also though. Contents may cover it. You may need to add it to a list though.
    But the price of laptop may make the expense of a claim seem cheap.

    Excess for loss or damage? Then the spec will be old so not worth what you paid.

    My sister claimed for one after the dog managed to pull it off a table via the cord.
    They offered her a choice of cheap laptops that although a slightly better spec were budget brands.

    Premium went up after though.
