Over the past 200 years, Bootham’s ambition has been to educate young people to ‘let their lives speak’ regardless of economic background. What we have achieved so far has only been possible thanks to the support of Old Scholars, parents and friends of the school. We are now committed to offering transformational bursaries to children from economically deprived backgrounds. The chance to live and study here will change the rest of their lives.We are now committed to offering transformational bursaries to children from economically deprived backgrounds.

Working in Partnership
We are committed to building a fund with which to offer transformational bursaries to children from economically deprived backgrounds. We have been working with a charity called Royal SpringBoard that matches children from such backgrounds with independent boarding schools. The chance to live and study here will change the rest of their lives. We are also working with the local authority to place Looked-After Children (children often in foster care or residential homes) into boarding at Bootham.
