First thing I would try would be doing a spatial join. A spatial Join
will take the attributes from the polygon layer and add them to your
point layer.
Vector Menu -> Data Management Tools -> Join Attributes by location. You
will get more than just the one column but the extra can be removed.

I was wondering if I could do the following within QGIS:
I want to update a column in my point layer with the attribute
information from a specific column in a polygon layer - so I have a
layer of postcodes and I want to give create a column, call it School
Catchment and I want to populate this column with the value of the
school name column from the catchment area polygon layer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
