Bootham School is a private Quaker boarding school, on Bootham in the city of York in England. It accepts boys and girls ages 3–19 and had an enrolment of 605 pupils in 2016.[2] It is one of seven Quaker schools in England.
The school was founded by the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) and opened on 6 January 1823 in Lawrence Street, York. Its first headmaster was William Simpson (1823–1828). He was followed by John Ford (1828–c. 1865). The school is now on Bootham, near York Minster. It is based in 51 Bootham, a building originally built in 1804 for Sir Richard Vanden Bempde Johnstone, but has expanded into several neighbouring buildings.
The school's motto Membra Sumus Corporis Magni means "We are members of a greater body", quoting Seneca the Younger (Epistle 95, 52).
