John Rigby Catholic College', its name was changed in 2004 as a rebranding because of falling pupil numbers and substantial debts following the departure of former headmistress Colleen McCabe.

Colleen McCabe was convicted in 2003 of stealing around £500,000 from her school over a period from 1994 to 1999, which she spent lavishly both on herself and on gifts for her friends.

The fraud was only detected when the school's grant maintained status was reverted and control was returned to the local education authority.

[2][3][4] After a consultation period, in April 2006 Bromley Council approved the proposal to close the school with effect from August 2007.
