I am building a small wooden screen similar to an altar piece for an a level art piece (i want it to be like a triptych) and i cannot find any information how to do it. It will be about the height and width of an average radiotor. Can anyone find me a website that will give me step by step idiot proof help?

Depends what you mean by " average radiotor" ? central heating / car ? The hardest bit is to get the panels thick enough to take neat hinges. Most screens had framed up panels to cope with this.

Use plywood (not normally but a this is getting close to a heat source I guess it is the best choice). Sand and prime with gesso (2 layers minimum). Paint it in oil or acrylics. Vanish and done.
