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.
The report, based on evidence heard by the IICSA's investigation of the Roman Catholic Church and the English Benedictine Congregation, said, however, the true extent of the abuse is "likely to be considerably higher" than the number of convictions.
A former East Yorkshire vicar has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for sexually assaulting vulnerable boys and young men in 1980s and 90s.

Grigg, who was a rector at St Mary's Church in Cottingham, groomed his victims, most of whom were just 10 or 11 when the abuse began.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) says the 84-year-old abused his position of trust and authority to exploit his victims for his own sexual gratification.
The CPS says it's thanks to the courage of Grigg's victims in reporting his crimes and supporting the investigation and prosecution that he's been jailed.
