Hi @simon
Which version of Office are you using now?
Besides, I suggest you sign into your school account into this webpage: https://portal.office.com/account#subscriptions, check the license that assigned to your account.If the license includes the Office desktop apps suite, you may click "Apps & devices", click "Install Office".

If there is no Office desktop apps included, please refer to John Korchok's suggestion.
