Dear Parents and Carers,

As you may be aware from both social media and national press, South Area police are currently investigating three reports from the Beckenham and West Wickham area involving the attempted abduction of children. These incidents are being actively investigated by South Area CID.

Please remind your child to be careful if they walk to or from school on their own.  Spend some time talking to them about how to keep themselves safe: sticking to well-travelled streets, avoiding short cuts through parks and having an awareness of strangers. We will also be talking to children at school about this.

We don’t want to cause alarm but please make sure that you and your children are extra vigilant and report anything suspicious to the police and the school.

If you have any questions then please do not hesitate to contact the school.
