Sign-up What our clients say about us The Department for Education (DfE) highly values the CLA licence which permits all state-funded primary and secondary schools in England to access written material, copy, re-use and share content from a wide range of sources within schools for non-commercial, educational purposes. This is important in supporting aims of the National Curriculum, including ensuring that all pupils can develop the habit of reading widely and often, for both pleasure and information, and acquire a wide vocabulary. Department for Education This collaboration is highly beneficial to Local Authorities and schools as it simplifies and streamlines the licensing process, guaranteeing that schools achieve the best value for money. It also ensures that teachers and pupils have access not only to the most up-to-date print media, but also that this access will be the same for every pupil in Scotland. Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence seeks to develop successful learners who are enthusiastic, ambitious and resilient – ensuring that all pupils have access to resources is vital to achieving this aim.
