'Snotty' school says father's gorilla costume is 'safeguarding issue'

A dad who wore a gorilla costume for his daughter on her last day of term was left stunned to be told by her 'woke' school his actions were 'a serious safeguarding concern'.

Chris Napthine donned the ape outfit to meet his daughter, Addie, on Friday (18/7) but was shocked when he later received a 'snotty' text message.

The 47-year-old, who went to Hertford Vale C Of E Primary School in the village of Staxton, North Yorks, has since branded the school's response 'ridiculous'.
