Among the girls listed, one is said to have been ridiculed as well as forced to stand in a confined and dark space for a “prolonged period”.

Prosecutors claim another had a postcard written for her mum ripped up and then she was slapped on the face.

It is alleged one girl had derogatory remarks made to her, she had food forced into her mouth, had a shoe and blackboard duster hurled at her as well as being dragged by the hair.

Robertson is also alleged to have got other children to “sing a song with degrading lyrics” towards another of the youngsters.

It is claimed she refused to release a further girl from a locked box and shouted at her.

Robertson, now of Witham in Essex, allegedly caused “unnecessary suffering and injury” to children mentioned on the indictment.

She also faces separate accusations of assault.

Lord Colbeck fixed a trial which is scheduled to begin in September.
