Bullers Wood School for Girls is a highly successful comprehensive 11 – 19 girls’ school with boys admitted to the sixth form. We are significantly oversubscribed, with admissions from over 50 primaries, and enjoy an excellent reputation in the community.

The number on roll is 1575, including 422 students in the mixed sixth form. We serve a very supportive community, and parents/carers have a choice of Bullers Wood School for Girls as a comprehensive school or selective education within Bromley and other LAs (Bexley, Kent). The proportion of students eligible for free school meals is below the national average. About a fifth of the total roll is from an ethnic minority background and some 20 languages are spoken. Very few students are learning English as an additional language. The behaviour of students is excellent, with all keen to learn and succeed.

In 2023, 80% of students achieved 5+ GCSE’s at 9-4 including English and Maths, and 47% of A level results were graded A* - B.

The staff at Bullers Wood School for Girls are friendly, hardworking and conscientious. We actively promote continuing professional development for all staff, in line with the needs of the individual and those of the School. We offer a full and comprehensive induction and ongoing support programme for all new staff. ECTs are allocated a dedicated mentor to support them through their ECT years.

The School is a founder member of the highly regarded Bromley Schools Centred Initial Teacher Training Collegiate which enables our staff to share their expertise and good practice with others. We also train teachers through the Graduate Teacher Programme. 

Twenty-two acres of woodland and landscaped grounds surround Bullers Wood House, a mansion with interior design by William Morris and exterior by Ernest Newton – both leading Victorian designers. This makes it unique, creating a high-quality environment and atmosphere which students enjoy and remember.
