Im a teacher - the school has no jurisdiction beyond the school gates before school or after school - they have no say on how that pupil gets to school. They are only in loco parentis off premises if there is a school trip organised which is risk assessed up to the eyeballs.
They will be very concerned about punctuality because that is reported on to the govt so the kid could turn up 10 mins late every day and say..."well its very difficult for me to get here on time with out my bike..." they would also fall on their arse trying to prosecute the parent then for lateness because they have been so unsupportive.
I suspect there is some shit excuse behind it like not wanting to be prosecuted if he falls off on school grounds. i also expect they are a stuck up, over subscriced catholic school (like most faith schools are) which have a massive waiting list and are happy to say...see you later
