The students of Bullworth Academy fall into five groups, none of which get along particularly well, while a sixth gang controls the industrial area of the town.
There are also two other groups, the prefects and the little kids, who aren't really cliques like the others but do appear around Bullworth very frequently.
The Yearbook section of this guide has photos of all the students enrolled at Bullworth.
Cliques[edit]
Main characters[edit]
The three main characters of the game.
- Jimmy Hopkins
- Pete Kowalski
- Gary Smith
Bullies[edit]
Leader: Russell Northrop- At first he is the antagonist in the first chapter: Making New Friends and Enemies, after Jimmy defeats one of his allies in a little fight and almost knocking Jimmy out himself completely, but the fight was broken up by Mr. Hattrick. He is seen again near the end of the first chapter, fighting Jimmy once and for all in the school basement after Gary 'claims' that Jimmy had talked about his mother and farmyard animals. Though surprisingly he is defeated and throughout the remaining chapters in the game, he becomes Jimmy's biggest ally.
The bullies dress in white Bullworth Polo shirts, and typically hang out around the main school building and the dorms. They are surprisingly poor fighters, apart from Russell. They will target any students from other cliques, but mainly they target the Nerds and the Non-Clique students. They are the only group without a girl member.
