LUCKY pupils from a Spa school can now put their creative talents to work in a brand new arts classroom.

The new room at Whitford Hall and Dodderhill School officially opened after a major revamp at the beginning of September.

The six-week refurbishment included new electrical work, extra storage facilities, flooring, work units and new windows, much to the delight of pupils and staff .

Art teacher, Carol Hallett said: "This has been a major initiative for the school and it allows the more pupils to function more efficiently.

"The new windows which had previously been bricked in creates a lighter effect in the classroom and the views are magnificent. We can now see right over to Westwood Park."
