How accessible is this website?

We believe the website has a high level of accessibility, with a couple of minor exceptions described below. We welcome feedback on how to improve it.

What we do about known issues

We work to achieve and maintain WCAG 2.1 AA standards, but it is not always possible for all our content to be accessible. Where content is not accessible, we will state a reason, warn users and offer alternatives.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Long Wittenham 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 2.1 AA standard, due to the known issues listed below.

Non accessible content

• There are links to Word documents and PDFs on the website, intended to provide access to downloadable and printable documents. The documents we are obliged to make available on the website are too numerous and complicated to convert to web pages.
• Staff members may from time to time post content on the website including videos and photos. We will aim to make these accessible as possible.

If you need to access information in one of these document types, you can contact us and ask for an alternative format.

Reporting accessibility issues

If you need information on this website in a different format like accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or braille or if you find any accessibility issues not listed on this page then please contact office.3233@long-wittenham.oxon.sch.uk

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

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).

How we test this website

We test this website with the WAVE plug in, and visual review. This website was last tested 9th June 2021, and these tests have been carried out internally. We test all pages of the site.

As of July 2024, we are relaunching our website, and a new accessibility test will be completed soon after the website is launched. Reasonable adjustments will then be made, and this statement updated.
