School abuse investigation launched

Claims of historical abuse at three boys' boarding schools are being investigated by two police forces.

The allegations centre on two schools in Gloucestershire and one in Wiltshire - all privately run - where pupils claim they were subject to "horrific" abuse during the 1970s and 1980s.

Staff who worked at the schools have "categorically denied" any involvement saying pupil welfare was always a "priority".
