Inclusive Access
Accessibility Statement
This website is designed with reference to GIGW 3.0 principles so that information remains usable by everyone.
Our Commitment
Accessibility measures in place
Semantic structure
Pages use landmarks, a single main heading and an ordered heading hierarchy.
Keyboard navigation
Every menu, filter, dialog and gallery item can be reached and operated with a keyboard.
Visible focus
A high-contrast focus outline is shown on every interactive element.
Skip to content
A skip link is the first focusable element on every page.
Text resizing
Text can be enlarged to 125% from the accessibility control without loss of content.
Colour contrast
Text and interface colours are chosen for adequate contrast, with a high-contrast mode available.
Not colour alone
Status and category information is always accompanied by text or an icon.
Alternative text
Photographs carry descriptive alternative text; decorative graphics are hidden from assistive technology.
Accessible dialogs
Notice, event and gallery dialogs trap focus, are labelled and close with the Escape key.
Reduced motion
Animation is suppressed when the operating system requests reduced motion.
Responsive layout
Content reflows to a single column on small screens with no horizontal scrolling.
Touch targets
Interactive controls meet a comfortable minimum touch size on mobile devices.
Assistive controls
The accessibility control in the site header allows visitors to increase or decrease text size and to switch on a high-contrast presentation. These preferences apply immediately across the website.
Standards reference
This website has been designed with reference to GIGW 3.0 principles and widely accepted web accessibility practice. It is not certified under any accessibility scheme, and accessibility is reviewed on a continuing basis as content changes.
Feedback
If any part of this website is difficult to access or use, the school office welcomes feedback so that the issue can be examined and corrected. Contact details are published on the Contact page.
