A Message from the Head

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Bootham Junior School web area.

My staff and I like nothing more than the opportunity to explain the purpose behind our day-to-day work and what it all means for the most important people here – the children.

Our job is to provide them with a stimulating and challenging time, both inside and outside the classroom.

Through a lively curriculum and a varied range of activities we strive to embed the necessary skills for the educational challenges which our pupils will face in the years ahead.

Since Quakers believe there is ‘that of God’ in everyone, the School emphasises responsibility for self and for others. We place a premium on integrity, honesty and trustworthiness from an early age.

We also know our young pupils thrive in a nurturing early years environment, so our main objective is to ensure your child’s years with us are happy, stimulating and successful ones.

Jonathan Taylor, Head of Bootham School, says, “We have a huge responsibility to give our students the best chances we can”. By meeting our main objective we are confident Bootham Junior will remain the perfect stepping stone to life at the Senior School and beyond.

I look forward to welcoming you to Bootham Junior School. 
Sue Pattison, Head
