/**
* Shared logic and copy for the "last distance offered" figure.
*
* The primary and secondary admissions sections lay their metrics out
* differently (a seamless tile grid vs. metric cards), so the markup is not
* shared — but the words are. Every caveat below is doing a specific job, and
* a figure that appeared on one template without them would be misleading in a
* way the other template was not:
*
* * The year, because a cut-off is the outcome of one particular admissions
* round and means nothing detached from it.
* * "not a fixed catchment", because that is the inference a parent will
* otherwise draw, and it is wrong — the distance moves every year.
* * The route count, because on a banded school the headline is the widest
* of several cut-offs and does not apply to every child.
