PAUL Brown has been voted 'Top Teacher' by Barnsley's children.
Paul, who teaches at Grove Street Primary in Barnsley, won the accolade for his enthusiasm.
"The kids said Paul put so much into his work that they did not want to leave school at the end of the day," said a spokesman for the organisers, Asda.
Paul received a bottle of champagne and a bouquet of flowers and was entered for national finals of the competition. He could win £500 for the school and £500 for himself.
About 40 teachers were entered for the Barnsley stages of the competition.
