@jebrittan2 @BishopNewcastle @NclDiocese We were shocked & appalled to learn the extent of abuse by Lindsay at Sherborne Prep. This school was not a Church Of England school & the Safeguarding Team have looked into if anyone who was a Church Officer at the time had known about the abuse & not responded appropriately
