Lady Smith, who chaired the probe, detailed more than four decades of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse at the private school. She said the school focused on protecting its reputation and ignored complaints.

Lady Smith also named four serial perpetrators of the abuse, including two who went on to offend at other schools.
