A woman is set to appear in court on Thursday following an investigation into a posh private school that was shut down by government ministers.
The Hamilton School in Aberdeen was closed by the Scottish Government last year after a joint probe by Scotland’s care watchdog and police.
An adjoining nursery shut down just 24 hours later after the Care Inspectorate visited the premises.
Kathlyn Taylor, 65, the owner and principal of the school, and 25-year-old female employee, Hannah Jamieson, were charged with alleged criminal offences against children in February last year.
Jamieson is expected to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court tomorrow.
A Crown Office spokesman said: “The Procurator Fiscal at Aberdeen received a report concerning two women aged 25 and 65, in relation to alleged incidents between January 2010 and January 2014.
“Following full and careful consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, including the available admissible evidence, Crown Counsel instructed that summary proceedings should be taken against the 25 year-old woman only at this time.”
At the time of closure, the school had 105 pupils and the nursery had 225 children.
The family-run school catered for children between the ages of three months and 12 years and was based in the west end of the city.
It was founded by Ms Taylor in 1975 and was Scotland’s only privately owned day school.
