Accessibility Statement

Accessibility Statement

Cressex Community 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 accessibility statement applies to the domain cressex.org.

This website is run by Cressex Community School. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.

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 using browser settings
  • Navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
  • Listen to most of the website using a screen reader
  • We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

How accessible this website is

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

  • Some images do not have meaningful alternative text.
  • Some interactive elements and form fields (for example, search boxes) do not have programmatically associated labels, which may make them harder to use with a screen reader.
  • A small number of links do not contain descriptive text.
  • Some text and interface elements do not meet recommended colour contrast levels.
  • Some older PDF and Word documents may not be fully accessible to screen reader software.
  • You cannot modify the line height or spacing of text
  • You cannot skip to the main content when using a screen reader
  • There’s a limit to how far you can magnify the map on our ‘contact us’ page

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, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

  • Some images do not have appropriate alternative text.
  • Some interactive elements and form fields (for example, search boxes) do not have correctly associated labels.
  • A small number of links do not contain descriptive text.
  • Some text and interface elements do not meet the required colour-contrast ratio.
  • Some older documents in PDF and Word format are not fully accessible to screen-reader software (for example, they may lack tagging or a proper heading structure).

Disproportionate burden

  • We are progressively updating key documents (such as current policies and statutory information) to meet accessibility standards.
  • It would be a disproportionate burden to retrospectively update every historic document that is no longer in active use. Where possible, we will provide accessible versions of specific documents on request.

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

  • Some third-party content embedded in our site (for example, maps or externally hosted services) is outside our control and may not fully meet accessibility standards.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 AA standard.
