Detectives are investigating reports of historic sexual abuse.
The investigation relates to the indecent assault and sexual abuse of three women during their time as schoolgirls at St Vincent’s Primary School in Norden, Rochdale.
Police are investigating complaints from three women, now aged 41, 35 and 21, but who were aged between 8 and 10, when the offences happened between 1980 and 2000.
