Simple arithmetic

From the figures on record:

The school in Tattershall has 52 surplus spaces.
The school in Ruskington has 11 surplus spaces.
The school in Sleaford has 0 spaces (due to an excess of 94)

52+11+0=63

Number of places needed for Lafford children = 268

268-63=205

That leaves 205 children from the Lafford needing to be provided for. If they all left TODAY, they would be without a school place. Perhaps that would shake up the system!
