I'm imagining a "liqourice strap" drink, built on black sambucca ... and ouzo? 
Hm, better be a shooter.

Ice-cream-sodas are under-appreciated, and I remember them as an extra-special 
after-school treat. Bring them back with a kick! I feel serious nostalgia with 
that idea.
rum-coke-soda. vodka-pop-soda. Call them anything you like

My impression of UK school days is formed mostly from "Grange Hill", so I'm 
not sure how accurate it'll be.

Spit-wads on the ceiling

Stick a blackboard & chalk in the toilets for the graffiti-ists. Get the jump 
on them by painting up lots of your own slogans!
Drill a peep-hole through to the girls loo :-B (I saw a doco on odd restrooms 
recently, and some place has a full glass wall between the mens and ladies. 
Very popular apparently, but I can't find a link)

Your smoking area MUST of course be 'bikesheds' theme.

Private 'Teachers lounge' VIP room? Maybe not for initial opening. 

Hang a few classic satchels on your coatrack/coatroom

Stick a test or quiz on the last page of your menu.

If I was a sound engineer, I'd imagine a way to rig up the effect of a class 
full of kids running down the corridor outside and play it now and then. I 
don't know how it's be done however :-) ... a bit exotic I guess.

Pencil-shaped Swizzle sticks!
