I agree that word macros would probably be disabled, I do not know how to 
write Java applets though since requires a knowledge of the awt toolkit and 
I've always used swing, its also likely that Java plugins in IE would be 
disabled since the school doesn't want kids to play games on their computers.

I'm going to see whether I will be able to persuade them into letting my use a 
Live CD distribution although I'm not likely to get permission.
