Two teachers have been suspended from a private school in Inverclyde after being accused of sex attacks on pupils, STV reports.
Both members of staff at St Columba’s School in Kilmacolm, where fees cost up to £11,000 a year, are under investigation by police.
The suspensions relate to one current allegation of an attack on a young girl and another dating back more than 20 years ago at another school.
On Saturday, a 56-year-old teacher was accused of historic sexual abuse towards a 15-year-old girl at a different school in Inverclyde. Both teachers were suspended immediately.
Rector David Girdwood confirmed the suspensions and said they were “entirely unrelated matters”.
Mr Girdwood said: “One suspension is a matter which is not directly related to the school. Suspension is a precautionary measure, and, in line with school policy, is undertaken while appropriate investigations are ongoing.
“The current matter was brought to my attention on Friday, the police were called in on Friday and then the person in question was suspended immediately.”
