Every Copy Counts supports primary and secondary schools to learn about the licence and its benefits for students, and helps teachers to submit data each year.

  • Did you know that your school has a Schools Printed Music Licence funded by the Department for Education, meaning that you can legally photocopy and arrange music for your curricular and extra-curricular music activity? 

  • Did you know that your school is required to report data on any printed music you are copying and arranging?

  • Did you know that by reporting your data, you directly help to ensure that the right composers and songwriters get paid for their music?

Every Copy Counts supports primary and secondary schools to learn about the licence and its benefits for students, and helps teachers to submit data each year. Find out more in the short video below.
