Accessibility Statement

ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT FOR LITTLE HEATH SCHOOL

This accessibility statement applies to the Little Heath School website.

This website is run by Little Heath School, supported by e4education (part of Juniper Education). We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, the website allows users to access a high visibility version which is designed for screen readers and assistive technology.

We have also made the website text as simple as possible to understand, and are committed to making further improvements to the way we describe our information and services.

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

How accessible is this website?

The website is built on e4education’s latest Content Management System and is fully responsive and built in accordance with the WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards.

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

  • some of the colours used do not meet colour contrast requirements
  • most documents do not meet accessibility standards
  • some hyperlinks are only identified by colour
  • we use some images of text
  • there is a limit to how far you can magnify the map on our ‘contact’ page
  • we do not provide a 'skip to content' link

Feedback and contact information

If you need any information on this website in a different format, please contact:

We’ll consider your request and get back to you within 5 working days.

If you cannot view the map on our contact page, please call or email us for directions. 

Reporting accessibility problems with this website

We are always looking to improve the accessibility of this website. If you find any problems not listed on this page, or think we’re not meeting accessibility requirements, contact office@littleheath.org.uk

Enforcement procedure

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, please contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Compliance status

Little Heath 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 version 2.2, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below:

Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:

Use of documents

  • Various documents are in use on this website, including PDFs and Word documents. These are not all currently accessible. If documents are required, we are aiming to make these as accessible as possible, including using appropriate heading styles and meeting colour contrast requirements. 

Please get in touch if there are any documents that you are not able to access and we will provide the information in a different format.

Links are only identified by colour

  • At times, only colour is used to differentiate hyperlinks from the rest of the page text. Hyperlink styling will be reviewed.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

  • All images that are added are now all given a text alternative. Some older images may not have this alt text so people using a screen reader may not be able to access this older content.
  • We will aim to review all old images and add text alternatives before our next review in December 2025.

Disproportionate burden

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

Secondary schools are partially exempt from the accessibility requirements for public sector websites. This exemption does not extend to content that people need in order to use the school’s services (such as a Free School Meal application form if one was in use on the website) and an accessibility statement is still required.

Due to this partial exemption, Little Heath School believes it is currently meeting the government’s requirements on accessibility, but the school aims to continue to improve accessibility in the ways that have been referenced earlier in this statement.

Preparation of this accessibility statement 

This statement was prepared on 20 December 2024.

The statement will be reviewed regularly (at least annually) to ensure it reflects any updates to the site’s compliance with web accessibility standards.
