Terms and Conditions - Free Decks for Schools

(v2.0 – 5th December 2025)

1. Promoter

The promoter is NextGen Music (“NextGen Music”).

Contact: office@nextgenmusic.org

2. Eligibility & Entry Structure

2.1 Eligible Schools

Open to state primary schools, secondary schools, academies and colleges within regions selected for each campaign.

2.2 Official School Entry

Only authorised school staff (e.g., Headteacher, Head of Music, SLT lead) may submit an Official Entry.

The Official Entry must include agreement to:

host the free workshop; and
permit NextGen Music to deliver weekly peripatetic DJ lessons on-site, with all lesson bookings and payments made directly by parents/carers to NextGen Music.

2.3 Parent/Student/Individual Nominations (“Advocacy”)

Nominations from students, parents or guardians (“Expressions of Interest”) are welcomed.

A nomination:

does not constitute an Official Entry;
does not commit the school to participate;
does not guarantee eligibility for equipment;
functions solely as a referral.

Once a school submits an Official Entry, all nominations linked to that school become Eligible Nominations for the parent prize draw.

2.4 Multiple Nominations

Schools may receive multiple nominations.

This does not affect the school equipment giveaway but does affect the number of entries into the parent prize draw (Section 6).

3. How to Enter (Schools)

3.1 Entry Requirements

Schools must submit the Official Entry form confirming their agreement to:

book in a free in-school DJ workshop; and
allow NextGen Music to deliver weekly peripatetic DJ lessons on-site. The school is not required to book or manage lessons; parent/carer bookings are handled directly with NextGen Music.
