Children at Brimrod Primary School in Sudden have raised over £400 for Children in Need.

Pupils went to school on Friday 15 November dressed in yellow or spots for the cause.

They also brought loose change to cover a giant Pudsey bear.

When added to the total raised by selling Children in Need merchandise for several weeks, the grand total raised was an impressive £410.

Children in Need is the BBC's UK corporate charity, which provides grants to projects in the UK which focus on children and young people who are disadvantaged. 

£47.8m was donated during Friday’s programme on 15 November, taking the total raised since the fundraiser began in 1980 to over £1billion.
