How licensing is organised
We license schools throughout the UK. All state-funded schools and most independents are covered by the CLA Licence.
In most cases, licences are held or administered by representative bodies that act as agents between us and the schools. Details of these arrangements are shown below:
| Type of School | Agreement via | Contact |
| State maintained schools in England | Department for Education | The relevant local authority |
| State maintained schools in Wales | Local Authorities | The relevant local authority |
| State maintained schools in Scotland | The Scottish Government | The relevant council |
| State schools in Northern Ireland | Education Authority | www.eani.org.uk |
| Independent schools in England and Wales | Independent Association of Prep Schools | www.iaps.uk |
| Independent schools in Scotland | Scottish Council of Independent Schools | www.scis.org.uk |
