Try looking at http://www.schoolforge.org.uk/index.php/Main_Page.  
Schoolforge is very active and is made up of business, teachers and 
other people in education who are all aiming to get open source 
technology into schools.  I went to the recent FLOSSIE conference that 
they organised and as well as being interesting, everyone was really 
friendly.  I recommend getting involved.
