Doctor Who star David Tennant has been voted as the ideal headteacher by primary school children.
David, 38, plays the Time Lord in the hit show but will leave later this year when the new doctor Matt Smith takes over.
The primary school children were asked to pick their dream headteacher and David beat off competition from Harry Potter author JK Rowling, US president Barack Obama and Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole.
Almost half of the children, aged between nine to eleven, said they chose their celebrity because they were the most fun. Whereas 33 per cent of kids said they chose “someone they could look up to”.
The survey was commissioned by the National College for the Leadership of Schools and Children’s Services.
National College’s chief executive Steve Munby said: “Being a head is a tough but extremely rewarding job, but you don’t need to be a Time Lord to make a difference to children’s lives.
“I’m not surprised to see David Tennant at the top of the list, alongside positive feedback about their own heads, who are obviously role models in their own right.”
