School Information

You’ll feel that difference as soon as you enter the place. Yes, there are all the things you’d expect from a top performing independent school–but then there’s definitely an unmistakable extra ‘some thing’ at Bootham. Here, you’ll find a genuinely friendly approach, born from the wonderfully positive Quaker belief that we should “walk cheerfully over the world, seeking that of God in everyone”.
