Two leading Roman Catholic schools "prioritised monks and their own reputations over the protection of children", a report says.
"Appalling" abuse was inflicted on pupils at Ampleforth in North Yorkshire and Downside in Somerset over 40 years, the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) said.
But, the report said, both institutions attempted to cover up the allegations.
Ten individuals, including monks, have been convicted or cautioned for abuse.

Horrendous. Time to shut down faith schools?

James O'Brien went to Ampleforth...will probably lead with it on his prog tomorrow.
what is it about all these people who wear medieval clothes, cloaks and funny hats - they seem to be rather strange and indulge in bad practices
Surely it should be illegal to know about child abuse and not to report it to the police.
How can it ok for organisations to do their own investigations instead?

By not reporting, you are as guilty as the people involved. Things are much tighter than they used to be now...supposedly or should be.
think the dwarf from top gear went to ampleforth..........
Lawrence Dallaglio went to Amplethorpe, I doubt if anyone messed with him somehow.
some names involved here, wow, this story could get even bigger.
Talking about it after discussing the decline of shops on the high street.
People complain Rotherham etc was under reported.
But this case was on the BBC website front page for no time at all.
Is it all child abuse that the media avoid? and why?

They can talk for days about Boris called people in clothing looking like a letterbox.
But this is basically completely ignored.
Not mentioned by the chattering classes.
Too sick to discuss so lets talk about something trivial instead seems to be the answer.

They should arrest and charge every teacher than knew and did nothing about it.
Horrific stuff.
Not just faith schools. Is everywhere.
