On initial inspection pricing forOffice 365 look expensive for instance, for a school of 150 staff and a 1000students you would be looking at an annual cost of £28,920.00 PA for an A3Plan.

(http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/academic/compare-office-365-education-plans-FX103045755.aspx).

However it ispossible to licence Office 365 much more cost effectively by purchasing a subscriptionfor Office Professional Plus 2013 via an EES agreement for all of your fulltime employees (FTEs) which with student advantage gives you Office 365 ProPlus at no additional charge.

(http://blogs.technet.com/b/microsoft_in_education/archive/2013/10/15/student-advantage-and-office-365-proplus-faq.aspx)

The followinglink details what is included in Office Pro Plus http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/business/office-365-proplus-business-software-FX103213513.aspx.However to help I have made to table below which I wish Microsoft would havedone to make everything clear.

When speakingto your Microsoft Partner the part number is 2FJ-00005 you also need to tell themhow many students you have as these also need to be licenced at no charge.

I hopethis has helped if you need any more info please PM me.
