Physically there is nothing stopping you from doing this but in terms of licensing it is down to the app developers licensing terms as to how many devices an app can be used on, however apple apps such as keynote and pages there is no limit

We currently have 120 iPads all issued to teachers, like others above we tried meraki but couldn't get it to work through our filters. Unfortunately meraki couldn't do what we needed it to do as we required each iPad to be laid out in a certain way with a certain wallpaper and certain ibooks already installed. The way we did it was to use iTunes backup and restore to basically create a "base image" for different setups of iPads (Teachers and Teaching assistants have different apps and layouts), if you set one iPad exactly how you want it (i.e. layouts,apps,iBooks etc) then use iTunes to take a backup you can then plug in a different iPad then restore from that backup you've just made. Make sure that the PC that you have installed iTunes on and synced the iPads to is Authorized under the iTunes account you downloaded the apps using otherwise the apps wont install when you restore, also i believe that iOS7 now supports background updates of apps so the iPads shouldn't be prompted for your iTunes account when they need updating.
