Refurb would be the way to go IMO. Excellent deals such as this (with a 1 year warranty)

Would add that to the office 365, make sure you sign up to onedrive, and when you set it up make sure documents\desktop folders are included in the setup, means that no matter where she saves stuff it will be automatically saved and backed up as she works, so no more lost homework. Also allows you to roll back versions easily too.
Quick answers. Budget at a push £500 but £350 is more realistic. Shouldn’t be moved about too much. Word is a must as far as I can see. Battery life is not important. Will be used with its screen. Sound is not that important.
Thanks for responding so quickly.
And new would be preferable.
