Former pupils at the prestigious £45,000-a-year Yehdi Menuhin music school have made fresh claims of sex abuse at the institution.

Star violinist Nigel Kennedy, himself a former pupil, had claimed in 2013 that pianist Marcel Gazelle - the school's founding music director - had abused pupils as young as 10 in the 1960s.

In March, the long-awaited report by the nationwide Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) that was set up by the Government shed light on other accusations, and the Surrey-based school's alleged reluctance to take action.

Now, 14 ex pupils have spoken out, making allegations of sexual, emotional and physical abuse against 15 members of staff that are said to have occurred between 1964 and 2007.
