St Stephen's CE Primary School is committed to making its website accessible in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Version 2.2 AA standard due to the following non-compliances (and/or) the following exemptions.
Colour Contrast
Some text and interface elements do not meet the required colour contrast ratios. This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.4.3 (Contrast Minimum).
When we next review the design of the website, we will carefully consider how our design and branding can be made compatable with recommended contrast ratios to ensure better readability for all users.
Alternative Text for Images
Some images do not have suitable alternative text descriptions. This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content).
We intend to review existing content and when new content is published, we will ensure that newly published images meets accessibility standards.
Link Purpose and Accessible Names
Some links and interactive controls do not provide sufficient descriptive text or accessible labels. This may affect users of screen readers and other assistive technologies.
When we next review the design of the website we will review navigation elements throughout the site and will update them where required.
Forms
Some form fields do not have properly associated labels, which may make them difficult for assistive technology users to complete.
We will update affected forms to ensure they meet accessibility requirements.
Touch Target Size
Some buttons and clickable elements do not meet the minimum touch target size requirements under WCAG 2.5.8.
These elements will be reviewed and updated during future website maintenance and development work.
PDFs and Other Documents
Some PDF documents may not be fully accessible to screen reader users.
When publishing new documents, we will endeavour to ensure they meet accessibility standards. Older documents will be reviewed and updated where practical.
Tables, Frames and Structural Mark-up
Some tables, frames, headings and page structures do not currently provide the level of accessibility expected by WCAG 2.2.
We will work with our website provider during future website maintenance and development work to address these issues and improve the overall accessibility of the site.
Live video streams are exempt from the accessibility regulations and therefore captions may not always be provided.
St Stephen's CE Primary School is committed to continually improving the accessibility of its website and digital content. We regularly review our website, consider user feedback and work with our website provider to address accessibility issues and improve compliance with WCAG 2.2 standards.
