Accessibility Statement

This accessibility statement applies to the Ellington Infant School website: www.ellington-infant.kent.sch.uk.

This website is run by Ellington Infant School. We want as many people as possible to be able to use our website. This means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings

  • zoom in up to 400% without 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 recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver

We have also tried to make our website content clear, simple and easy to understand.

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

Accessibility Features

We have designed our website with accessibility in mind. Features include:

  • Responsive design – the website is designed to work across desktop computers, tablets and smartphones.

  • Keyboard navigation – users should be able to navigate the main areas of the website without using a mouse.

  • Clear and readable text – we use legible fonts, clear headings and appropriate text sizing.

  • Colour contrast – we aim to ensure that text and important website elements have sufficient contrast against their backgrounds.

  • Alternative text – meaningful images are provided with alternative text where appropriate.

  • Descriptive links – we aim to use link text that clearly describes where a link will take the user.

  • Structured content – headings and page structures are used consistently to help people using assistive technology navigate our content.

  • Accessible forms – we aim to ensure forms are appropriately labelled and can be completed using a keyboard.

  • Video and multimedia – where appropriate, we aim to provide captions, transcripts or other alternatives for multimedia content.

Some services accessed through our website are provided and managed by external organisations. Accessibility of these services is therefore partly dependent on the third-party provider.

Non-accessible Content

We know that some content on our website may not be fully accessible.

PDF and Other Documents

Some PDF documents, particularly older documents, may not be fully accessible to screen reader software or may not have been structured with accessibility in mind.

Third-party Content

Some content, forms or services provided by third parties may not meet the same accessibility standards as the main school website and may be outside our direct control.

Primary and secondary schools and nurseries are partially exempt from the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

However, this exemption does not apply to content that people need in order to use the school's services, such as essential information or online forms.

We aim to make all essential information and services accessible and will continue to improve the accessibility of the wider website wherever possible.
