Favourite pupil (8,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teachers pet

(Other definitions for teachers pet that I've seen before include "Least popular child in the class?" , "(Mocked) school favourite" , "goody-goody" , "Class favourite" , "Favourite in form" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
