Gmail new look

If the Gmail new look is not to your taste, here is a way that you can re-create the old look even though Google have removed the option.

Open Gmail in a new tab or window and while it is loading, click on the Load Basic HTML link that you can find in the bottom-righthand corner of the screen.

If you like the look and want to keep it, click the | Set basic HTML as default view | link at the end of the orange bar that runs along the top of the screen.

This view lacks some of the features of the new look, but is does load a lot faster.

Primary schools to rise to 1000 pupils

A growing number of primary schools will have 1000 pupils or more - as extra classes are added to cope with a rapid increase in the birth rate.

The Department for Education says it is providing £4bn and relaxing building regulations so that new schools can occupy a smaller space - secondary schools by 15 per cent and primary schools by 5 per cent.

The rise of supersize primary schools reflects urgent efforts to find places for the surging numbers of pupils - with official figures showing that an extra 455,000 places will be needed in England by 2015.
