We want as many people as possible to be able to:

  • Navigate most of the website using a keyboard

  • Zoom in up to 300% without text spilling off the screen
  • Access key information in a clear and structured format

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

Some documents (such as curriculum overviews and policies) are provided as PDFs and may:

In some areas of the website:
