Free Microsoft Office

We offer all of our students a Microsoft 365 subscription – completely free of charge! The subscription includes the ability to download Microsoft 365 and install this on up to 5 computers at home (Windows & Mac). In addition to this, students can also install and activate Microsoft 365 apps on up to 5 tablets and smartphones (including Windows Phone, Apple iOS and Android). The software is fully compatible with the Office applications we use in school; instructions for download can be found below.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

2. Click 'Install apps' at the top right of the screen, and then select 'Microsoft 365 apps'. You will be guided through the rest of the setup.

When you leave, your Microsoft 365 subscription will come to an end. You will no longer have access to your Microsoft 365 account, and the software you have downloaded will expire.

It's important to ensure that you have taken copies of any OneDrive or SharePoint files you need, as you won't have access to these once your subscription expires.

Microsoft 365 comes with a full version of Office and familiar Office applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote and more.
