BUDDING Picassos at a Droitwich school can put their creative talents to work in a new arts classroom.

The new room at Whitford Hall and Dodderhill School has officially opened after a major revamp.

The six-week refurbishment included new electrical work, extra storage facilities, flooring, work units and new windows.

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