Surplus School places in Wales

There's a worrying article on the BBC today : - here

A BBC investigation shows there are nearly 76,000 excess places. Rhondda Cynon Taf has more than 10,000, Swansea nearly 5,000 and Wrexham over 4,000.

Potentially, more than 300 schools in Wales could close if all the surplus places were to be removed, although Welsh-medium and faith-based schooling as well as Wales' geography means the matter is more complex than simply numbers.
