Tenacious Schools
Supporting inclusive and engaging education in schools; reducing disengagement and emotionally based school non-attendance (EBSNA) in students.
Tara Bell, Founder,
EBSNA Hub and Tenacious Schools
What is the purpose of education?
What is meaningful, engaging and inclusive education in 2025? What is required to meet the needs and abilities of all our young people? What educational offer will support an emotionally, intellectually, financially, physically well and thriving society?
While academics and successive governments grapple with these questions, increasing numbers of children and families have opted to leave or disengage from mainstream education.
After 25 years in teaching and headship, I founded Tenacious Schools as a collaborative community; its' purpose is to support teachers and schools in meeting the needs of all young people with innovation, flexibility and tenacity. It is a first step in the move towards a truly inclusive schools system that reflects the values and aspirations of the society we wish to create.​
