Website Accessibility Statement

This accessibility statement applies to the Rainhill High School website.

Rainhill High School is committed to making its website accessible to as many people as possible, including people with disabilities.

Using this website

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. This means you should be able to:

  • zoom in without text becoming unreadable;
  • navigate the website using a keyboard;
  • use the website with screen-reading software;
  • understand the structure and content of our pages;
  • access information using a range of devices and screen sizes.

We aim to make our website content clear and straightforward to understand.

Technical information about this website's accessibility

Rainhill High School 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 are assessing this website against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard. The review is not yet complete, so we cannot currently confirm its compliance status. Known accessibility limitations are described below.

Non-accessible content

We are continuing to review the website as part of its development and accessibility testing. Some content may not yet fully meet the WCAG 2.2 AA standard.

In particular:

  • some older PDF, Word and other documents may not be fully accessible to screen-reader software;
  • some documents may have been created before current accessibility requirements were introduced;
  • some third-party content or services linked to from this website may not meet the same accessibility standards;
  • we are continuing to review images, document structure, navigation, colour contrast and other website elements as part of our accessibility work.

Where we identify accessibility problems with content that is required to access our services, we will work to correct them or provide an accessible alternative.

PDFs and other documents

The website contains PDF, Word and other documents, including policies, governance information and information for parents, carers and pupils.

Some older documents may not be fully accessible. The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they are not essential to providing our services.

We aim to make new documents accessible wherever possible and will provide information in an alternative accessible format where reasonably required.

Requesting information in an accessible format

If you need information from this website in a different format, such as an accessible PDF, large print or another accessible format, please contact the school.

Email: contact@rainhillhighschool.org.uk

Please tell us what information you need and the format you require. We will consider your request and respond as soon as reasonably possible.

Reporting accessibility problems

We are always looking to improve the accessibility of this website. If you find any problems that are not listed on this page, or think we are not meeting accessibility requirements, please contact us.
