Website Accessibility Statement for Cunningham Hill Schools

Our Commitment

Cunningham Hill Schools is committed to making its website accessible in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

We acknowledge that this website is not fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard.

Certain parts of our website fall under partial exemptions for schools, meaning we are not legally required to make them fully accessible.

For more information on exemptions, visit:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/accessibility-requirements-for-public-sector-websites-and-apps

Schools are required to make content accessible where it is used to access services, eg. the booking of extra-curricular clubs, school meals, payment of school trips etc. At Cunningham Hill Schools, these are managed by external third-party providers and therefore not covered by this accessibility statement.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reason(s):

(a) non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

Some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

  • Some elements are not keyboard accessible, and there are issues with keyboard focus
  • Some content may not be easy for screen readers to process correctly
  • Images may not be consistently labelled with descriptive alt text
  • Videos may not have audio description
  • Older documents may not be compliant with accessibility standards
  • Downloadable PDF documents may not be accessible with screen readers
  • Downloadable PDF documents may not include titles

(b) disproportionate burden

The general navigation and accessing of information. We believe the cost of fixing the issues with navigation and accessing information may fall under the category of disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations.

(c) the content is not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

Some of our PDFs and Word documents provide information. For example, we have PDFs with information about our curriculum, school events, letters home, etc.

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services.

This statement was prepared on 4 March 2025. The statement was last reviewed on 4 March 2025.

An audit will be carried out following any substantial revision to the website. The statement will also be updated.
