To be clear, the information the parents have sent to us is that many of those places are already gone; they have already been allocated.

It sounds like there are 15 or 11 places. The reality is there will not be because a lot of those places will be allocated to students who are already in that school. When parents are listening in here on this, there will be cold comfort because they know quite a number of those places have already been allocated to students in the existing school system. That is really concerning, considering how close we are.
