“We may well be in a relatively prosperous area, but there is no question that we have a moral obligation to open the school gates a little wider,” said Miss Dunn. “This is a very exciting time for The Maynard; schools should be accessible by nature and I’m hoping that these awards will reflect this ethos by...
