Microsoft Office 365 Calendar Setup

About the Service

An organised calendar is a critical tool in every school environment making it much easier to schedule meetings, communicate with your staff, and ensuring the general workflow of the school is easier to manage.

Microsoft Calendar is the scheduling component of the Mail app that is fully integrated with email and contacts. You can create appointments and events, organise meetings, view group schedules, and more. It has a simple and intuitive interface making it easier to update entries and change schedules.

Never miss an upcoming event by switching on alerts with varying update times, allowing you to keep the events persistent in your mind. 

You can colour-code your calendar entries making sure important events stand out and remain consistent across your school.

You can display multiple calendars at any one time such as:

  • Your own unique work calendar (bloggs@aschool.lancs.sch.uk).
  • Your general work calendar.
  • The Headteachers calendar.
  • The school calendar.
