Dr Paul Bell, Horsforth School

Horsforth School in Leeds has embraced Tassomai to improve student engagement, reduce teacher workload, and drive better results. The school’s headteacher has experienced the platform as both an educator and parent, seeing its influence on his own son’s education.

“It’s changed how our students engage with revision, how our teachers approach workload, and how our parents support learning at home. If you’re a school leader wondering whether to try it—just do it.”

- Dr Paul Bell, Headteacher
