I don't think that happened. Schools in the UK used BBC Micros a lot (the BBC name helped), including Masters. Never seen a domesday machine at a school. (Note to self: Nick some of the BBC micros in the music room stock cuboard ;) )
There was one at the science museum in Birmingham, but that closed a couple of years ago, I don't know what happened to the machine. Its either in storage, or I think a new more edutainmenty museum opened at millenium point, so it might be there.
Of course, you do have the problem of transferring the data from a BBC Micro to a PC (probably via an Acorn Archimedies or something), and data formats.
