Pupils at Edinburgh Academy suffered "dreadful abuse" over several decades while the school ignored complaints and focused on protecting its reputation, the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry has found.
Inquiry chairwoman Lady Smith found that children were sexually abused by staff over four decades, from the 1950s to the 1980s, and endured physical and emotional abuse.
She said some boarders at the school lived in a "permanent state of fear" and that the institution "failed to look at itself through a realistic and critical lens".
