About Bullers Wood School for Boys

Bullers Wood School for Boys is a thriving, oversubscribed, 11 – 16 boys’ comprehensive school situated in the London Borough of Bromley. We opened in September 2018 and have 900 boys on roll. The school is an ‘early start’ school which means that the school day for students starts at 0745 and ends at 1420 hrs. Teaching staff are expected to be on site from 0725 hrs to 1430 hrs except on days where meetings are scheduled as part of directed time. Staff are expected to stay until 1600 hrs on these days.

When we opened, we became the partner school to Bullers Wood School for Girls, (a successful comprehensive girls’ school with a large, co-educational sixth form), responding to significant demand for more secondary school places, particularly for boys, in the local area.

For the first two and a half years, we operated out of temporary sites eventually moving into our brand new £23 million building in the Spring of 2021.

We continue to develop a staff team that is focused, relentlessly, on improving the achievement and opportunities for our boys. All staff working at the school subscribe to our ethos and values, and seek to improve and develop their own practice and performance for the benefit of our boys.
