Set on a beautiful campus in the heart of the city of York, Bootham School enjoys an enviable location within exceptionally easy reach of both London and Edinburgh. This Quaker school has been leading the way in intelligent education since 1823; it values more than just academic success and encourages students to be creative thinkers, peacemakers, and confident humanitarians. Students benefit from 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. Boarders are housed in beautifully refurbished Georgian buildings, and a recently renovated college area provides sixth-form students with impressive study spaces. The facilities include an on-site observatory, and GCSE astronomy remains a popular addition to the timetable. With excellent academic results, an extensive activity programme, and outstanding pastoral care, Bootham continues to attract girls and boys from across Yorkshire, the UK, and around the world.
Bright World's placement service is FREE. If you would like more information on applying to Bootham School contact us now.
