CHILDREN and teachers at Bishop Wilson CofE Primary School have raised more than £1100 for charity.
Parents pitched in to serve tea and cake in the school hall, with all proceeds going to Macmillan's World's Biggest Coffee Morning.
Trish Purnell, the school's senior lunchtime supervisor, has been co-ordinating the event every autumn for the past decade and was delighted that a record amount was raised this time round.
Ms Purnell, mother of the Michelin-starred chef Glynn Purnell, said: "I was keen to see the event become even bigger this year.
"Glynn was able to donate some hampers and a signed cookbook, as well as lots of other prizes from local businesses and volunteers.
"The charity means a lot to me and I'm proud that we have managed to put on one of the biggest events in the West Midlands."
Macmillan started its Coffee Morning event in 1990 and thousands of fundraisers take place around the UK each year.
