The Behavioural Unit, commonly referred to as the BU, is a special unit at Waterloo Road High School used to help pupils with their poor academic performance in the mainstream or with their disruptive behaviour. It was set up by then-headteacher Kim Campbell at the insistence of her deputy, Lindon King.
