Office 365 can be used in two ways.

The first is to login to the Office 365 Portal and use the online versions of the Apps e.g. Word, Excel, Powerpoint.

The second way is to install Office 365 to a maximum of 5 your own devices (Windows, MAC, Tablet or phone).

Note 1 MAC’s, tablets & phones will need to be on a fairly recent version of the OS (Operating System) form the installation to work.

Note 2 the installation is only active whilst you are employed by or a student at the school.

Installing also installs Access and Publisher to Windows devices.
