Huge thanks to the team from the @met police for coming in today to security-mark bikes. Great to see so many students choosing to cycle, it’s healthy & good for the planet. Bike marking helps protect against theft & supports students to feel more confident about cycling.

We were honoured to have Michael Rosen join our Poet Laureate workshop. The students each read their poems and Michael gave them warm and valuable feedback - we discussed metaphorical waterfalls, the self awareness of elephants & the rhythms that connect us to everything @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social
