Yep. Just install the apps and sign in the app using the Office 365 username and password

When i go to Appstore on the iPad and search for word and tap install. It says sign with iTunes account.

I dont have any iTune account for our school, is it a good idea to created an iTunes account for the school and will it be chargeable to download these WORD, EXCEL , PPT apps?

 

Thanks

You will need some kind of iTunes account to download. You won't be charged to download the apps, they are free downloads.

You don't need an iTunes account if you are using an MDM + VPP to distribute.

 

Also you will need to give users the Office ProPlus licence in 365 for them to be able to edit documents.

I have now downloaded and installed the Word, if i open the word app, It is showing a office 365 windows, saying Sign in to create and edit documents.Use your Microsoft account or work or school account you use to access office 365 and gives an option for sign in.

Do i need to sign in with the office 365 ID of the staff member.

Yes, or just get the staff to do it themselves.

The only trouble with this, is when using shared/student iPads, they always forget to log out as they are never prompted or reminded to do, so you could end up accidentally saving work in someone else's account.
