The Department of Education pays the cost of CCLI licences for all state schools in England. All other schools in UK & abroad need to ensure this has been covered by your school enabling songwriters to receive remuneration for songs used within assemblies, collective worship, and performances.

You need to set up a CCLI ‘profile’ on the website olr.ccli.com and obtain your school Access Code from CCLI, which you will find on any correspondence from them or by contacting them.
Contact CCLI on 01323 436100 or through the Customer Support page to access your details.
1. Visit olr.ccli.com to log into your account:
2. Now refer to the PDF we sent you via email. You might find it easier to print off the summary section of the PDF.
3. Once signed in to CCLI, you’ll see the Search & Report screen (below). Enter the first song title (or CCLI number) from your PDF and click ‘report’
4. In the box that now appears (below) add the number of plays shown on your PDF for that song. Enter the number in the ‘digital’ box. NB if song usage is greater than 9: enter 9, press ‘save’ & continue to enter the remaining number of plays.
The PDF contains details of the date and time each song was used. If some of the plays refer to you previewing the work rather than using in class or assembly, please adjust accordingly; we are unable to differentiate.
5. The Music Reproduction Licence box is only for use if you have made multiple printed copies of the song. Otherwise, click Save to finish reporting that song.
6. Complete this process for each of the songs listed on your PDF.
7. Email us to confirm you have submitted your use of PopUK songs .
We'll contact you each half-term, summarising your latest song usage to make reporting easier.
