Windows

Unfortunately windows 10 does not support this kind of calendar under it's native calendar app or Microsoft Outlook.

Students can of course check their timetable via edumate at any time.

If students are very keen

Sunbird is a free calendar only app which can be installed on windows and used to subscribe. It is quite old but works well.

Thunderbird is an free email app with a modern version of sunbird built in, which can be used to manage both email and a calendar. Installing a separate email program can be a good way to seperate school email from personal mail. School email is also easily accessed through any web browser without installing software.

Adding a calendar is identical in both applications.
