Abstract

This chapter explores aspects of good practice in a mixed comprehensive school in a rural village. It will argue that the rural setting has an effect on anti-racist strategies, issues of segregation and integration and curriculum content for Gypsy Traveller pupils. It will highlight the need for policy makers to consider rhe racism faced by many GypsyTraveller pupils in developing innovative practice to meet the needs of pupils with nomadic lifesryles that present significant challenges to educators and local education authorities (LEAs).
