Ground breaking partnership between Wave MAT and Dartmoor Zoo is changing the lives of Cornish pupils
Dartmoor Zoo may seem an unlikely setting for a ground breaking educational project aimed at building the confidence, self-esteem and motivation of a group of Cornish pupils excluded from mainstream schools.
