'Inadequate' Nuneaton Academy put in special measures

By -
An academy school in Warwickshire has been branded "inadequate" and placed in special measures by Ofsted.
The report into Nuneaton Academy - formed in 2010 to replace Alderman Smith School and Manor Park School - was released on Thursday.
William Branney, appointed principal in January, accepted the result was "deeply disappointing".
The Midland Academies Trust, which runs the school, said management had been, and would be further, bolstered.
The news comes after Grace Academy in Coventrywas also branded inadequate, in March.
Total focus
Speaking ahead of the publication of the latest report, Mr Branney said it "confirms that our current work is simply not good enough".
"Pupils and their parents deserve more," he said.
"It's my job to make sure that they get it. That will be my total focus, going forward."
Midland Academies Trust chief executive Marion Plant said it had appointed an executive principal temporarily to support Mr Branney and was looking to recruit three senior managers to "enhance leadership".
"I am confident that together we can accelerate the pace of change to benefit all students and the wider community," she said.
Previous principal Helen McEvoy left the school at the end of December to take up a headship at a school in Scarborough, the trust said.

First computer made of carbon nanotubes is unveiled.

The first computer built entirely with carbon nanotubes has been unveiled, opening the door to a new generation of digital devices. "Cedric" is only a basic prototype but could be developed into a machine which is smaller, faster and more efficient than today's silicon models. Nanotubes have long been touted as the heir to silicon's throne, but building a working computer has proven awkward. The breakthrough by Stanford University engineers is published in Nature. Cedric is the most complex carbon-based electronic system yet realised. So is it fast? Not at all. It might have been in 1955. Cedric's vital statistics *.1 bit processor *.Speed: 1 kHz *.178 transistors *.10-200 nanotubes per transistor *.2 billion carbon atoms *.Turing complete *.Multitasking The computer operates on just one bit of information, and can only count to 32. "In human terms, Cedric can count on his hands and sort the alphabet. But he is, in the full sense of the word, ...
