This accessibility statement applies to https://www.willowbankprimaryschool.co.uk.

 

Compliance Status

Despite the partial exemption for schools, we strive to ensure our website conforms to WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards. This means that our website aims to be:

  • Perceivable: Information and user interface components are presented in ways that users can perceive.
  • Operable: User interface components and navigation are operable.
  • Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface are understandable.
  • Robust: Content is robust enough to be interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.
     

Measures Taken to Improve Accessibility

To enhance accessibility, our website features:

  • Consistent Navigation: Our website offers a clear and consistent navigation structure, aiding users in finding information efficiently.
  • Alternative Text for Images: We provide descriptive alternative text for images to assist users utilising screen readers.
  • Accessible PDFs: Efforts are made to ensure that downloadable PDF documents are accessible, including the use of proper headings and tags.
  • Keyboard Accessibility: Our website is designed to be navigable using a keyboard alone, ensuring operability for users with mobility impairments.
     

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

 

Non-Accessible Content

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility, some content may not yet be fully accessible.

This may include:

  • Third-Party Content: Embedded content or links to external websites that we do not control may not meet accessibility standards.
  • Archived Documents: Older PDF documents and other files that may not be fully accessible to assistive technologies.
  • Colour Contrast: Some text and background colour combinations may affect readability for some users.
