"Students without a number plate will not be permitted to cycle to school"
How are they going to enforce that?
"Our absolute priority is the safety of our students"
Really? I'd assume it would be their education, you being a school and all and their health and wellbeing. Anyway, how do numberplates improve safety?
"The plates are being introduced on 1 October as part of a scheme to encourage cycling, which includes subsidised bike lights and maintenance workshops."
That, at least, is a good thing. Making sure that students have a working bike will encourage cycling and keep cycling students safer.
