STAFF at a Stoke-on-Trent school said today they were ‘horrified’ to discover a former teacher had abused pupils at a previous school where he worked more than three decades ago.

Paul Kelly had preyed on boys at a St Ninian’s School in Falkland, Fife, which educated youngsters from troubled backgrounds.

But the offences may never have come to light had it not been for the tenacity of one victim, who made a complaint to diocesan officials in 2013.

It led to one of the biggest abuse inquiries of its kind to be carried out by Police Scotland, with Kelly among several former staff to be charged with sex offences.
