A Warwickshire school has offered "unreserved apologies" to a student prevented from making a speech at school about being British, while wearing a union jack dress.
The 12-year-old, who attends Bilton School in Rugby, wore the outfit for Culture Celebration Day on Friday.
Her father, Stuart Field, said: "My daughter felt like there was an issue, she felt like it was something she shouldn't have done. That's what is wrong about this whole situation."
A spokesperson for the school said: "We deeply regret the distress this has caused and offer our sincere and unreserved apologies."
Mr Field said in a Facebook post he picked his daughter up early from school after the incident.
