School spokeswoman Linda Kellaway said: "We did not charge for admission to our six performances but asked parents and friends to donate.
"The children also sell Christmas stamps for the delivery of internal cards and the staff make a collection instead of sending cards.
"The largest collection was made at the final performance which, for the past nine years, has taken place at Cricket St Thomas. Thank you to everyone who contributed."
