Allegations of child sexual abuse at a Lincoln school are being investigated by Lincolnshire Police.
The force has confirmed that it is looking into claims surrounding the Cathedral School in Lincoln as part of an investigation called Operation Redstone.
The school, which educated the minster’s choristers, was amalgamated with others in 1996 to become Lincoln Minster School.
Detectives launched Operation Redstone after “a number of concerns” were referred to Lincolnshire Police in 2015 following a review of past safeguarding cases by the Diocese of Lincoln dating back to the 1958.
Detective Superintendent Rick Hatton, who is leading the enquiry team, said: “As there are individual investigations under the umbrella of this operation it would not be appropriate to give specific details, but suffice to say that all appropriate care and support is being given to past victims by both the police and the Diocese.
“Anyone who has any information relating to such cases is urged to contact Lincolnshire Police or the Diocese of Lincoln and the matter will be investigated.”
