NOTE: This form is attached to the schools enrolment form, so you may have already completed this form already. However, once the form is returned permission will be issued. Return of this form is a compulsory Department for Education ICT requirement and so if a student has not returned this form, they will be unable to download the software. As part of the licensing agreement between the Department for Education and Microsoft, students who have returned a Student/Parent signed NHS ICT Acceptable User Agreement form (available here) will have access to Microsoft Office 365, accessible for download from home or at school.
