This website is run by Ebor Academy Trust and this statement applies to
www.eboracademytrust.co.uk and all of the Trust’s individual school websites. We want as
many people as possible to be able to use these websites. For example, that means you
should be able to:
● Change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings
● Zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
● Navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
● Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent
versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
We have 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.
● 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 navigable via keyboard to accommodate users
who cannot use a mouse.
● Text Readability: We use clear and legible fonts, sufficient colour contrast, and
adjustable text size to enhance readability.
● Captioning and Transcripts: Multimedia content, such as videos, includes captions or
transcripts where applicable.
All our websites are partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version
2.2 AA standard.
Our academies are partially exempt. They are not required to make all content accessible,
except for essential content that people need to use their services. .
We are continually working to improve the accessibility of our website. We know some parts
of this website are not fully accessible:
● Most older PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software.
● Any forms with bespoke styling on the site may not be accessible.
● Images: We are working hard to ensure that, where needed, we include alternative
text for any images. If any images do not have a text alternative, so people using a
screen reader cannot access the information. Please let us know if this causes you problems so we can assist you.
● Video: We are working hard to ensure that, where needed, we include frame titles,
captioning and transcriptions for any videos. If any videos do not have a frame title,
captions or transcriptions, so people using assistive technology cannot access the
information, we will rectify this if notified. This fails WCAG 2.2 AA success criterion.
● Links: We are working hard to ensure that, where needed, we include appropriate
use of links and ensure that links are descriptive. If any links are not descriptive, so
people using a screen reader cannot access the information, we will rectify this if
notified.
● Tables: We are working hard 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.
● Brand colours: We endeavour to ensure that our brand colours meet the contrast
ratio for the corresponding text size. If any text does not meet the contrast ratio, so
people with visual impairments cannot access the information, we will rectify this if
notified.
While our website has been built to include functionality that works with screen readers, we
may need to make some improvements by working with our website provider.
Regular audits and user testing will be carried out.
We will incorporate feedback from users to enhance accessibility.
We will endeavour to keep up to date with evolving accessibility standards and best
practices.
While we aim to ensure all content on our website is accessible, some third-party materials
or linked resources may not fully meet accessibility standards. We encourage you to contact
us if you have difficulties accessing external content.
