Schools and colleges
Anyone who watches or records television programmes as they're being shown on TV at a school or college needs to be covered by a valid TV Licence. This includes the use of devices such as a TV, computer, mobile phone, games console, digital box or DVD/VHS recorder.
Usually one TV Licence will cover the entire school or college. However, in some cases certain areas need a separate TV Licence. Please check below to ensure your school is correctly licensed.
It costs £142.50 for colour and £48.00 for a black and white TV Licence.
