So setup a policy to disable the execution of the iexplore.exe binary
and the binaries from other browsers as well. You could also prevent the
installation of the other browsers. Link tthe policy to the OU where
the users are located who are not supposed to have Internet access. If
they aren't in the same OU then you will have trouble doing it in group
policy because that's the finest granularity you will get with group
policies.
 
Not really. You could set up a group called say "No Internet Access" and put
all the students into that. Then in your group policy remove the
"Authenticated Users" from the security filtering list and add the group you
created above. The GPO will then only apply to that group irrespective of
which OU's the users are in.

How you restrict Internet access in the GPO is another matter. Entering a
dummy proxy setting would do it though

HTH
 
Forgot to mention that you will still need to link the GPO to the OU(s)
where the users are though hopefully you have a decent structure for your
user accounts and you will only need to apply it at the top level OU
