Do you have any form of Internet connectivity available in their premises?

Which Ubuntu distribution are you referring to?

IMHO, it would be useful to use any form of Internet connection at the
school premises along with this mailing list and IRC (#ubuntu-in at
irc.freenode.net) for your queries and support.

Why a CD? If it is one user, having a CD with extra packages helps.
But, when you have a network, it is my recommendation that you setup a
system that acts as a local mirror, and you can use that to do a
network install/update on all the machines:
