Bruce Robertson, from Raglan Primary School, Raglan Road, Bromley, had two nominations.

One of those came from five-year-old Zara Kermally who said he was her favourite teacher and he was "kind."

The 39-year-old Shortlands resident, who has spent 11 years of his 13-year teaching career at Raglan School, said: "I am a bit stunned. You're doing your job and you're doing the best you can. I'm flattered."
