About Bootham

The story, ethos and character of Bootham.

Setting: City
Ethos: Quaker
Head: Mr Deneal Smith

"A calm, purposeful and well-resourced school with a strong heart and a family feel" - The Good Schools Guide. Bootham is home to 600 students aged 2-18, each one benefiting from the school's values-led approach to education. Success at Bootham is not just academic - it's personal, purposeful and lifelong.

Founded by York's leading Quaker families, Bootham encourages students to be creative thinkers, peacemakers and confident humanitarians. Students benefit from the small class sizes, inspirational teaching and the wide-ranging activity programme you would expect from a leading independent school, however, its Quaker heritage and ethos bring something extra; a solid foundation of moral principles, public duty and a positive view of the world and its people.

Bootham Senior School is set in a beautiful campus just minutes away from York Minster.

Boarders are housed in beautifully refurbished Georgian buildings and a recently renovated College area provides sixth form students with impressive study areas. Bootham Junior School on Rawcliffe Lane is a vibrant and welcoming space for the school's youngest students and, although separated slightly by location, the whole school is very much one community.

Bootham offers Day places for students aged 2-18, and Full, Weekly and Flexi Boarding places for students aged 11-18. Bootham's location in the city centre and to York's bus and train station make it easily accessible for students across the UK and the world.
