Commitment to Inclusion: Our Accessibility Statement

We are committed to ensuring our website is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. This accessibility statement outlines how our website meets accessibility standards, what we are doing to improve access, and how you can contact us if you have any difficulties.

Compliance

  • Our school aims to make the website accessible and usable in accordance with the requirements of the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 and the guidance given by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).
  • While primary schools are partially exempt from some of the detailed requirements under the Regulations, we nevertheless strive for compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA standard as far as reasonably possible.

What the website does to support accessibility

We have taken the following measures to improve accessibility:

  • Our website is designed responsively so it works across a variety of devices (desktops, tablets, mobile phones).
  • Users are able to zoom in without the content becoming unusable or spilling off the screen.
  • The site is built so that, where possible, navigation can be achieved using a keyboard and assistive technologies (e.g., screen readers).
  • We use readable fonts, good contrast between text and background, and clear layout to support readability.
  • Where images are used, we add alternative (alt) text to support users with visual impairments.
  • Key information (for example under “Key Information” on our site) is organised clearly and in a straightforward way.
  • We utilise the Ally Elementor plugin to enable users to adapt our website to their specific requirements.

Known Areas for Improvement

Despite our efforts, we know that some content and features may not yet be fully accessible. For example:

  • Some older PDF documents may not be optimised for screen-reader software.
  • Some third-party content or embedded resources (e.g., maps, videos) may not fully meet accessibility standards.
  • Some form elements or interactive features may not yet be fully keyboard-navigable or labelled for assistive technology.

We are working continuously to address these issues and improve the site.
