Fantastic school, with a long standing reputation for excellence. If your considering a private school with a great reputation, this is definitely worth a serious look.

Amazing school the studies are excellent and the beauty of the school is insane...

As parents we find Bootham School brimming with many qualities, there is a calming atmosphere punctuated with a strong sense of purpose,- forming a perfect baseline to facilitate learning and self confidence. "Adventurous & Liberating" is the School mantra. Our two children have made some wonderful friends and from starting Bootham in year seven, have never looked back. The teaching staff are supportive and motivating. The activities after 1600 hrs add another dimension to the learning and development of children, giving them a taste of things they (and we) would probably never think of in the fast paced world in which we live. Finally, the food is consistently of the highest quality and the children (& us on Saturdays),look forward to every meal !

As a former pupil, I cannot sing their praises high enough. I came from a school (St Olaves) where I was bullied for many years. I was generally miserable and had low self confidence. Bootham brought me out of that shell. The teachers were all lovely, I may not have liked every subject, but i still liked the teachers. The ethos and attitude of staff and pupils quickly formed me into a totally different more caring person. I was much happier, my grades rose and I joined as many after school activities as I could. At my previous school I never wanted to stay longer than I had to. At Bootham I never wanted to leave. School lunches were also amazing, In the 7 years since I left I have tried to keep my home food as varied and healthy as the lunches I got at school. Friends and family love the food I make and I still don't think it is as good as my school food was. I wasn't the only pupil to go to Bootham after being bullied, I think it attracts a lot of kids who are kind and bright but have been stifled through adverse experiences. I would highly recommend it for anyone who is more introverted and wants to develop in a caring and protective environment which still prepares you for the world ahead. My friends and employers have commented on how kind and hard working I am. These are qualities I am certain I formed during my time at Bootham. In the sixth form they give you more freedom and if staff think you are capable they stop spoon feeding information. Deferring to guiding your own research. This was a invaluable skill when it came to university.

Best school ever,the teachers are very nice!!

Not just a school, but a community. From birth (Gentle Beginnings), through the toddler years (Parent & Child Groups), pre-school (Kindergarten) to the Main School (age 6 - 14) York Steiner School offers a nurturing environment and a rounded education. Highly recommended.

Best school ever.

Please note this a review for the architecture of the building (as it is currently an independent preparatory school); anyway, the Gothic architecture of the building is beautiful.

Best school ever... I will always have the fondest of memories and the largest amount of respect for this school - a great working enviroment with fantastic results and a warm community.

Amazing school, wonderful village like community. Staff are great. Best seven years of my life - sets everyone up to be kind citizens of the world : )

I'm in the military and my children have been to numerous schools in their life and my career, but hands down this has to bee the best school by far

Fantastic local school that puts the community at its heart.

Very nice school.

Wonderful, helpful staff.

It's ok but the toilets are not nice

Ok

As a workplace I can highly recommend the school for its nurturing environment for staff as well as children. It is a very secure, educational environment, the school uses innovative thinking in designing the school day to meet the needs, and challenge children. These themes often purposively carry from classroom to kitchen, outdoors and into excursions. The schools seems to be thoroughly audited & reflective, progressive practice is evident at every level.
