Microsoft 365 Apps
As part of your Microsoft 365 subscription, you gain access to a number of useful apps.
Read the information below to learn about the different apps and what their purpose is.
You will be able to access these apps on every school computer and from home by visiting www.office.com.

When you are saving a school document from home, remember to save it to your OneDrive so you can access it at school!
Organising your Documents
To prevent your documents looking like the picture above, you should use folders!
Folders keep your documents organised and makes it easier to search and sort through them to quickly find what you want.
You should always give your documents and folders sensible names that describe what is in the folder or what the document is about – this makes it easy to remember when you are searching for a specific document, but also helps other people (like your teachers) to easily find a document if they need to mark it.
Sharing your Documents
It is easy to share documents from Office apps and OneDrive to your teachers when submitting homework and other assignments.
Office Apps (and Office web apps)
Simply click the share button in the top right of the app, then type in the last name of the teacher you need to share the document with, then click share!
Other Apps
Save your document to your OneDrive, then right click on it to choose ‘Share’. Then type in the name of the teacher you need to share the document with and click the share button!
