An inquiry has been ordered after police failed to respond to five 999 calls from a primary school reporting an armed intruder.
The man broke into the school brandishing a lump of wood and threatened staff by telling them 'you're dead'.
School had finished for the day, but there were still children inside and frantic staff rang 999 on five occasions over a 50-minute period. Eventually the man left of his own accord, but officers never turned up to investigate.
Kent Police chief constable Michael Fuller has ordered the investigation following a complaint from headteacher Stuart Pywell, of St Stephen's Junior School in Canterbury.
The drama at the school unfolded last week, when five young men were seen fighting with lumps of wood in the school grounds.
