Police were called to school in Folkestone to reports of a disturbance between parents at the school gates.

Officers were called out to Castle Hill Community Primary, following a heated argument between parents in front of pupils.

It is understood it broke out because of an incident with a pupil and a pair of scissors.

Head teacher, Pete Talbot, wrote a letter to other parents explaining while the police were called.

“Officers attended the scene and spoke with the parties involved," he said.

"The matter is being dealt with by the school.”

The argument happened at about 3.15pm at the Sidney Street school last Thursday.
