Grabbing their paintbrushes, year 5 pupils at Walton Oak School have brightened up the inside of the rebranded Lloyds Bank in Walton.

With the bank's black horse logo to hand, children created colourful backdrops for the horse to rear up against and are now on display in the High Street branch’s lobby.

The arty youngsters also lent a helping hand to mark the re-opening of the branch by cutting the ribbon alongside rowers Josh Tonnar and Pete Robinson.

All the children were rewarded for their efforts and Zora Price was awarded the first prize for her design.

The school, which was chosen as the branch’s community school, hope to continue to foster good links with the bank.
