Geelong's most prestigious school has apologised after being slammed by the child abuse Royal Commission.

The Commission has found long-time headmaster John Lewis, who later went on to run England's elite Eton College, knew of allegations about a teacher accused of abuse, but did not take steps to protect students.

The school has also been criticised for not investigating an abuse complaint against a teacher in 1989, before expelling the 14-year-old who spoke out. Meantime an elite Sydney school has given its full backing for a former principal who has also been blasted by the Commission.

Nicholas Sampson organised for a teacher to receive a year's salary so he could retire early, after another staff member raised allegations of sexual abuse.
