A private boys school in Sydney has issued an apology to former students who were victims of sexual abuse.

Five former teachers at Knox Grammar School in Sydney's north were charged with various offences after police started investigating allegations of abuse in the 1970s and 1980s.

Officers say a "significant number" of former students came forward and alleged they were sexually assaulted.

The Uniting Church school has issued a statement apologising to any victims after three of the former teachers pleaded guilty.

The statement says the church admires the courage of the former students in confronting such an ordeal.

The school says it will make no further comment because some of the other cases are still before the courts.
