Don't think you need any proof to buy this, there is a piece on Amazon giving the "requirements" as follows;

"Manufacturer's Description
*IMPORTANT NOTE: You can only purchase this product if you are a qualifying student, parent, guardian or teacher as described below. Please note that all software is for the educational use of the qualifying user and is not for any commercial use. Usage rights end as soon as the qualifying user ceases to be eligible through graduation or change of educational status.

Eligibility for student licence Students: Full or part-time student aged five or over enrolled on a course that will deliver an academic qualification publicly recognised by the Department for Education & Skills (DfES) or the Irish Department of Education (DOE)
Parents and guardians: Parents and guardians who have a child who is a qualifying student and wish to buy software for their child's educational use.
Teachers: Full or part-time registered to teach in a school, college or educational establishment recognised by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES), the Irish Department of Education (DoE), or the Higher Education Authorities (HEAs)."


Seems that if the kids are going to use it you should be OK.
