January 17th 2012 - A Message from Bexley Police

• Police warn residents to be wary of card scam

Bromley Police are reissuing their warning about a scam in which fraudsters use false pretences to try and get people’s bank cards, after 25 attempts to perpetrate this scam across the borough in the last two weeks.
The scam works by the victim initially receiving a phone call, or number of phone calls, from someone claiming to be from their bank or credit card supplier. The caller obtains personal details from the victim before advising them that they need a new card and telling them that a courier will visit them shortly to collect their old card. A person, dressed to look like a courier, then arrives at the door to take the card.
A spokesman for Bromley Police said: “It is important that residents are aware of the tactics used by con-artists. Never-ever disclose your bank details to anyone cold calling. Banks will never call you asking for personal or account information as they already have these details, and neither will the Police. If there was a problem with your card and it needed to be replaced the bank would write to you advising you to cut the card up. You should never give out bank details or other personal information over the phone, whatever the reason behind the request".

2011 Results

97.5% of students gained at least 5 A* – C passes at GCSE
84% of students gained at least 5A*- C passes at GCSE including English and Maths

Yet again the students at St Catherine’s have achieved the most amazing results.
I am extremely proud of the girls they truly deserve these results as they all worked extremely hard.
I must also praise my staff who are so dedicated and go the extra mile and beyond for their students.  We are extremely ambitious and continually talk to the girls about their aspirations and dreams.  Hopefully many of those dreams are now closer to becoming realities.
The girls have now moved on to a variety of post 16 institutions and we wish them every success and happiness in their future lives.
