Accessibility Statement for Crookham CE(A) Infant School

This accessibility statement applies to www.crookhaminfants.co.uk

This website is run by Crookham CE(A) Infant School. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • select high visibility mode to change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using a keyboard

We've also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

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

How Accessible This Website Is

Accessibility Features

  • Responsive Design: Our website is designed to work on various devices and screen sizes, including desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones.
  • Keyboard Navigation: The website is mostly navigable via keyboard to accommodate users who cannot use a mouse.
  • Text Readability: The high visibility mode uses clear and legible fonts and sufficient colour contrast.

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

  • some PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software
  • embedded Google Maps are not accessible within the site
  • Video: We endeavour to ensure that, where needed, we include frame titles, captioning and transcriptions for any videos. If they do not, this fails WCAG 2.2 AA success criterion 1.2.2.
  • Links: We endeavour to ensure that, where needed, we include appropriate use of links and ensure that links are descriptive. If they do not, this fails WCAG 2.2 AA success criterion 2.4.4.
  • Tables: We endeavour to ensure that, where needed, tables have the appropriate headings set. If any tables do not have defined headings, so people using a screen reader or keyboard navigation cannot access the information, we will rectify this if notified. This fails WCAG 2.2 AA success criterion 1.3.1.
  • Brand colours: We endeavour to ensure that, our brand colours meet the contrast ratio for the corresponding text size. If they do not, this fails WCAG 2.2 AA success criterion 1.4.3.
