Despite this the school had managed to get 25 students into higher education. I thought that they could benefit from a few raspberry pis.

Sounds like a fascinating and wholesome project!

The whole Raspberry Pi web site is a valuable resource; they have a education landing page here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/teach/
The forums at https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/ has a plethora of people discussing the Pi and its numerous uses. The Magpi magazine, from the foundation, is also a substantial publication and an enjoyable read.

As for third-party resources I expect there's some resource to be mind from the subreddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/
