Sixth form pupils at Borden Grammar School paid tribute to Georgia Mann and raised more than £1,000 for the the critical care unit whose staff did all they could to save her.

The 15-year-old was a back seat passenger in an Audi that had broken down on the slip road onto the A249 at Bobbing, when it was struck from behind by a van shortly before midnight on Wednesday, October 24.

She was rushed to London's King's College Hospital but tragically died of her injuries two days later.

The van driver, a 42-year-old man from Murston, was arrested on suspicion of drink driving but released pending further inquiries.

A group of pupils at Borden Grammar organised a non-uniform day and tuck shop before the school broke up for the holiday, raising more than £1,000 for the hospital’s critical care unit.

The day started with an assembly, at which the Avenue of Remembrance school’s head boy Jordan Lindo spoke about road safety.

Cindy Ayling, the school’s administration officer, said Georgia, a Westlands pupil, was well known in the sixth form.

“It was a time for the whole community to show their support,” she added.

Georgia’s sister Sammy Law said she and her family were very grateful for the school’s efforts.

She added: “They’ve raised so much and will be helping other families in horrible situations.

“Georgia would be so happy, she has made so many people come together and help others the way she would have done.

“Thank you to the entire school, it really means a lot.”

Earlier this month, the 26-year-old had bags made with the hashtag #ifthecarbreaksdownGET OUT, with a hi vis vest and two foil thermal blankets inside.

It’s part of the family’s campaign to prevent others from going through the same heartache as them.
