Pupils are putting their interior design skills to the test in a competition to design the perfect classroom.

The Portakabin company has challenged design technology students in Year 8 at Oriel High School, Maidenbower Lane, Crawley, to design the interior for one of its portable classrooms.

The student with the winning interior design will receive a cash prize, as well as a prize for the school.

The design competition is to celebrate the opening of Portakabin's Crawley Hire Centre.

Ben Coupar, manager at the hire centre, said: "I'm hoping that the pupils from Oriel High School will relish the challenge of coming up with their idea for the perfect classroom."
