The head teacher at an Aberdeen private school has been placed on leave while what is described as a "serious matter" is investigated, 大象传媒 Scotland News has learned.

Parents at Albyn School have been told the matter concerns only members of staff and was not a child safeguarding issue.

The school did not specify what the allegations related to, but said a full independent investigation would take place.

A statement said the head teacher - Stefan Horsman - was taking paid leave of absence and that an interim head had been appointed.
