Notes on the text

Rampton was the interim report of the Committee of Inquiry into the Education of Children from Ethnic Minority Groups. The Committee's final report, published in 1985, was the Swann Report, which is also online.

The full text of the Rampton Report (including the Appendices) is online.

Every web page includes chapter links (as in the left hand column on this page) and there are links to the next and previous chapters at the bottom of each page.

Footnotes have been renumbered and collected together at the end of each chapter.

The paragraph numbering in this report is unusual - I've left it as in the original.

All the tables which appeared in the report are embedded in the text in this web version, with the exception of Appendix E which is shown as a link. Clicking on this link opens the table in a pop-up window.

Anything added to the report by way of explanation is shown [in square brackets].

I have proof-read and spell-checked the text, but if you spot any errors I'd be grateful if you'd email me.
