John Addrison is accused of seven counts of indecent assault involving three children while working at Moor Park School in Ludlow, Shropshire, between 1985 and 1988, Thames Valley Police said.

The 52-year-old, of Datchet Road, Slough, has already been charged with three counts of indecent assault on a child under 16 and one count of gross indecency with a child under 14, a police spokesman said.

Those offences were allegedly committed while he worked at Caldicott Preparatory School in Farnham Royal, Buckinghamshire, he said.

Addrison has been bailed to appear at High Wycombe Magistrates' Court on August 28.
