My high school (years 1987-90) was crazily well equipped – we actually had two rooms full of BBC Micros and gasp an Archimedes. What's more, they were networked so we could chat to each other ... in between political simulation games. Thought it was called "Prime", but perhaps it was Great Britain Ltd: http://bbcmicro.co.uk/index.php?search=Simulation+%28Politic...
I don't recall actually having classes there so perhaps I only used them at lunch hours. We did also have a BBC Micro-on-a-trolley in my form room though, and I do remember vaguely impressing my classmates by "hacking" some BASIC Lunar Lander game to start with -1 lives, ensuring the "decrement, check against zero" game over condition would never trip. Though in reality that just gave some of the kids licence to never relinquish control, since their game never finished.
