A Watford secondary school has sent more than 100 gift boxes to children in Togo, West Africa.

Stanborough Secondary School, in Stanborough Park, also raised £250 towards shipping costs as part of the Adventist Development and Relief Agency appeal.

The year nine class packed 26 boxes, and earned the Most Successful Form award.

Pupil Tabason also contributed 15 boxes, while teachers, staff and alumni of the school packed 23 boxes.

One staff member donated more than £150 to buy toys and stationery for the boxes.

The school topped last year's contribution of 95 boxes, which were delivered to underprivileged children in Sierra Leone.

A spokesman for the school said: "We would like to thank everyone who participated in this project.

"Special thanks goes to Eileen Hussey, who co-ordinated the appeal. Every box will make a difference to a child in Togo."
