This general study reports on Travellers (often called gypsies) with a specific focus on children who attended one school in Norfolk (United Kingdom) during January-July 1991. Divided into six chapters, chapter 1, "An Historical, Legislative, and Educational Perspective on Travellers," offers an overview with distinctions made between the people collectively known as Travellers into Scottish and Irish Travellers, New Travellers, Showmen, and the group on which the research is focused, the Gypsies. Chapter 2, "The Local Scene and the ex-Head Teacher," gives perspectives of a local resident on the Travellers and settled communities, the ex-Head of the Junior School, and the coordinator of the Traveller Education Service. Chapter 3, "The New Head Teacher and Some Staff at Haynes Junior School," goes inside the school and details new policy and staff attitudes. Chapter 4, "Some Children and Staff at Haynes Junior School," describes some children's experience and its varied interpretations, as well as how teachers, children, and families view this experience. Chapter 5, "Conclusion," summarizes the research and offers some tentative conclusions. Chapter 6, "Reflections upon the Conduct of the Research," examines how the research was done and also upon the topics of racism, subjectivity, and bias. A 50-item bibliography is included. (EH)
