Why don't you try Bridgeman Education. They have a wide variety of images
from museums and art galleries all over the world, which cover all areas of
the curriculum, and I know that they are trying to break into the schools
market at the moment. www.bridgeman.co.uk
I think Pandora Mather-Lees is the person to speak to.
Hope this helps.
