Remote access to both school email and desktops is available for all pupils and staff, and we provide Microsoft Office free of charge for work at home.

E-mail is hosted on Office365 and can be accessed through the majority of web browsers at https://outlook.office365.com/ - you will need your school email address and password to log in.

OneDrive/Teams/Office Online can be found by either logging in to your email and clicking the "waffle" at the top left, or going to https://www.office.com/

Microsoft Office Applications are available free of charge to all pupils and staff for as long as they are at AKS. Log in with your school email address and password at https://portal.office.com/ and go to the Install Software section.
