Technical information about this website's accessibility

We are committed to making our website accessible in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA standard.

We are currently partially compliant.

Non-compliance with accessibility regulations

Some website content may not fully meet accessibility standards, including:

·      Images without appropriate alternative text, potentially affecting WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content).

·      Documents that have not been formatted for use with assistive technologies.

·      Embedded third-party content with limited accessibility features.

We will review these issues and make improvements where reasonably possible.

PDFs and other documents

Some of our PDFs are essential to providing information about the school, including policies, admissions arrangements and other statutory information.

The accessibility regulations do not generally require us to make PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 accessible unless they are essential to providing our services.

We aim to ensure that new documents published on our website meet accessibility standards.

If you experience difficulty accessing a document, please contact us and we will provide the information in an alternative accessible format wherever possible.

Live video

Live video streams are exempt from the accessibility regulations' requirement to provide captions. We will consider accessibility when publishing recorded video content.

This statement will be reviewed annually and updated when significant changes are made to the website.
