    • Text Readability: Clear fonts, sufficient colour contrast, and adjustable text size.
    Compliance Status

    This website is partially conformant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard, due to the exemptions and issues listed below.

    Content That’s Not Fully Accessible

    We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

    • Older PDFs: Not fully compatible with screen readers.
    • Embedded Google Maps: Not accessible to assistive technologies.
    • Forms with bespoke styling: May not meet accessibility standards.
    • Images: Some may lack alternative text.
    • Videos: Some may lack captions or transcripts.
    • Links: Some may not be descriptive.
    • Tables: Some may lack proper headings.
    • Brand Colours: Some text may not meet contrast ratio requirements.

    These issues fail WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria. If you find any inaccessible content, please contact us and we will rectify it.

    Exemptions

    As a primary school, some content is exempt under the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018, except for essential service content (e.g., forms for school meals).

    What We’re Doing to Improve Accessibility

    • Screen Reader Compatibility: Working with our website provider to improve functionality.
    • Regular Audits: Annual accessibility audits and user testing.
    • Remediation Plans:
      • Convert older PDFs to accessible formats by March 2026.
      • Explore accessible alternatives for Google Maps by June 2026.
      • Review and fix non-compliant forms by July 2026.
    • Keeping Up-to-Date: We monitor evolving accessibility standards.

    Disproportionate Burden

    We have assessed that fixing all legacy PDFs immediately would impose a disproportionate burden. However, essential documents will be prioritised.
