The Maynard has been enjoying a lot of sporting success lately, with our U13 Hockey Team being crowned Devon County Champions; Tilly Gregson (U4) winning a spot on the extremely prestigious Royal Yachting Association’s Topper South West Zone Squad and the U14 netball team who became Devon Champions last month.
If you enjoy sport, please keep your eyes peeled on the blog over the next week - coming very soon:
