Abstract: One of the major social challenges of our time is the fight against the processes of social and educational exclusion. In this struggle, movements that believe that moving in an inclusive direction means recognising the capacity of the groups and agents involved to analyse, regulate and develop ways of improving and modifying their own situation are gaining strength. From this perspective, a participatory study is presented which assumes the importance of the sense of belonging to the school community in preventing exclusion, failure and school dropout. The paper presents the results derived from the analysis of three discussion groups developed within a Community Inquiry Team composed of different representatives of an educational community: students, teachers, managers and families, from a secondary school in Pontevedra (Spain). The aim of these groups was to create and develop proposals for improvement in order to foster students' sense of belonging to the school. The results of the empirical analysis identify four categories that can be considered as key points to increase the sense of belonging in and from the educational community. The article concludes by analysing the impact that the participation of different socio-community agents has on the creation of a more inclusive educational community.
