Google allow you to do this by redirecting requests to
nosslsearch.google.com:

Look at the link at the bottom of the page - "Information for school
network administrators about the No-SSL option".

You can follow their advice and bodge DNS records into your DNS server,
add the address to your /etc/hosts file, or use an ICAP server to
rewrite the CONNECT requests. Beware that the http traffic itself must
be unmodified (e.g. the GET and Host headers must still point at
www.google.co.uk or wherever), just the IP address you connect to changes.
