- Description:
- Bootham School. Co-ed, 3-18years, boarding and day, with Bootham Junior School on a separate site in Clifton. Described as “The thinking parents’ choice” Bootham really is worth a place on any parent’s shortlist. It is different at Bootham – and you’ll feel that difference as soon as you entre the school. Yes, there are all the things you’d expect from a top performing independent school – excellent academic credentials (the school was ranked top again in the area for its GCSE and A-level performance), really good music and drama, sport for everyone (and not just the 1st team!). But then there’s also an unmistakable extra ‘something’ at Bootham stemming from its founding Quaker principles. Here you’ll find a genuinely friendly and welcoming approach, born from the wonderfully positive Quaker belief that we should “walk cheerfully over the world, seeking that of God in everyone”. As the ‘Good Schools Guide’ puts it; “Bootham is addictive – it gets under your skin”. So, give it a look, this might indeed be the ideal school for your child! And the setting couldn’t be better either– only 300 metres from York Minster and right in the heart of this most beautiful of cities.
