An elite Melbourne private school has been reportedly hit with further legal action over alleged sexual abuse dating back more than 20 years.

Scotch College says two claims have been made against the school and more are expected, after they reached out to childhood abuse survivors in May, The Age reports.

The school has already settled more than five historical abuse cases.
