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.

The formatting of the text (bold, italics, centred etc) is a reasonably accurate representation of the printed version. However, please note that the pages presented here are not exact facsimiles of the original printed version: the font (Times, Arial etc) and size of print - and therefore the number of words to a line and lines to a page - are determined by the settings you have chosen for your web browser.

There is one exception to the above: many of the headings in this report were printed in the margin. I have incorporated these into the body of the text - in a handful of cases this has meant splitting a paragraph into two.

The paragraph numbering in this report is unusual - each chapter starts with paragraph 1. The numbering shown here is as in the original.

Anything I've added by way of explanation is shown [in square brackets].
