A Somerset school hit by allegations of historical sexual offences is considering taking itself out of the control of the Roman Catholic clergy.

Downside Abbey said it was undertaking a “major review” and that “significant changes” would be announced soon.

Last week Richard David White, 66, a monk who taught there, was jailed for five years for child sex offences.

White, of Hyde, Fordingbridge, Hampshire, was sentenced at Taunton Crown Court.
