Lambourn C of E Primary School has been judged "inadequate" following a recent Ofsted inspection.

The report, published this month, criticised the quality of teaching at the school.

West Berkshire Council said it was working with the school on an "improvement plan".

Ian Pearson, head of education at West Berkshire Council, called it a "disappointing result" but said the appointment of a new headteacher had "brought not only the stable leadership that the school has been sadly lacking but a clear plan and direction for improvement".

A motorist who seriously injured four people in two separate collisions in Bournemouth has been jailed.

Christopher Wicks, 21, of Luther Road, Bournemouth, was handed a five-year prison term at Bournemouth Crown Court.

Last June, he injured two passengers who were travelling in his car when he deliberately drove into a tree at speed, after he found out they planned to have him arrested.

Four months later he sped away from police who tried to pull him over for driving without insurance twice in less than 24 hours.

In his attempt to get away he crashed his vehicle near Bournemouth University, injuring a female passenger. Another woman in a different car suffered broken bones.

Dorset Police Sergeant Nikki Burt, of the traffic unit, said: "The manner of his driving as he tried to escape my colleague was appalling and reckless."

The University of Oxford says its new multimillion biomedical research centre will pave the way for treatments for some of the biggest population health issues around the globe.

The centre will bring together researchers to analyse biomedical data from tens of thousands of people worldwide, speeding up both doctors' understanding of diseases and the development of new treatments.

It's expected research into conditions such as cancer and Alzheimer's will be a priority. More than 600 scientists will now be based in Headington.

Sir John Bell, regius professor of medicine, said: "Technological advances have exponentially increased the information we have about what happens in a variety of disease states.

"Some of this comes from health care records and some from analysing patient samples.

"Being able to efficiently interrogate this data will play an increasing role in both research and treatment development in the coming years, and by bringing together world-leading research teams under one roof we will be able to accelerate this process significantly."
