Children at a Suffolk prep school have teamed up with a house builder to design the perfect children's bedroom. 

A total of 45 pupils from South Lee Prep School in Bury St Edmunds took park in the challenge to design a child’s bedroom for the new show home at the St Edmunds Gate development in Bury St Edmunds.
