youngsters from Yarm Primary School have raised about £1,000 for the Butterwick Children's Hospice.
Last week, families and friends donated cash to the hospice while watching pupils taking part in the school's Christmas productions and a sing-along.
Staff and pupils chose to support the hospice because one of their year six pupils has benefited from the hospice's care.
George Barber, headteacher, said: "We have well exceeded our expectations in terms of the amount of money we thought we could raise.
"We are very grateful to parents and visitors who generously donated to our appeal to raise money for the hospice."
