The benefit to your school

Permission is required to copy or reproduce copyrighted song lyrics and sheet music in school. Because the Schools Printed Music Licence (SPML) does not cover songs used in assemblies, CCLI’s school licences provide a simple and cost-effective solution to legally reproduce thousands of songs and hymns used in assemblies and acts of collective worship.

Children wearing matching shirts are standing up. They're holding a paper in front of them and singing a song together.
