Exclusive: Children abused and criminally assaulted at two English private schools run by an educational charity – or is it a cult?

Young children beaten about the head, punched in the stomach, hit with cricket bats. The findings of an unprecedented independent inquiry into the horrific abuses at two schools in London – St James and St Vedast – in the 70s and 80s.

Schools run by the School of Economic Science – thought by some to be an educational charity and by others to be a cult. Now based in west London – the schools current heads claim they’re dealing with the wounds of the past.

But Channel 4 News has learnt that three teachers from the time of the Inquiry are still working there. And several parents of current pupils have told us they’ve now removed their children from St James because of concerns about the SES.

This exclusive report by our Social Affairs Correspondent Victoria Macdonald.
