Website Accessibility Statement (2026)

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Gumley House School FCJ is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We want every visitor — students, parents, staff, prospective families and members of the public — to be able to access the information they need easily and independently.

This statement explains how accessible our website is, what we are doing to improve it, and how you can contact us if you experience any difficulties.

Compliance Status

Our website aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard, which is the legal benchmark for public‑sector organisations in the UK.

We are partially compliant with WCAG 2.2 AA due to the issues listed below.

Non‑Accessible Content

Some parts of our website may not be fully accessible:

Some PDF documents may not be fully screen‑reader compatible
Older documents may not have correct heading structures
Some images may not have alternative text
Some embedded content (e.g., maps, third‑party forms) may not meet accessibility standards
Colour contrast may not meet AA standards on older pages
Some videos may not include captions

We are working to fix these issues as part of our ongoing accessibility improvement plan.

What We Are Doing to Improve Accessibility

We are committed to continuous improvement. Actions include:

Updating PDFs to accessible formats
Adding alternative text to images
Improving colour contrast on legacy pages
Ensuring new content meets WCAG 2.2 AA
Training staff on accessible content creation
Reviewing accessibility annually as part of our Accessibility Plan

These actions align with our Accessibility Plan (2024–2027), which outlines improvements to physical, curriculum and information access across the school.
