This accessibility statement applies to St Marys RC website. 

This website is run by St Marys RC school, supported by e4education (part of Juniper Education). We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, the website allows users to access a high visibility version which is designed for screen readers and assistive technology.

We have also made the website text as simple as possible to understand, and are committed to making further improvements to the way we describe our information and services.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

• most documents do not meet accessibility standards
• some hyperlinks are only identified by colour
• we use some images of text
• there is a limit to how far you can magnify the map on our ‘contact’ page

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Compliance status

St Marys RC 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 2.2, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below:

Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:

Use of documents

• Various documents are in use on this website, including PDFs and Word documents. These are not all currently accessible. If documents are required, we are aiming to make these as accessible as possible, including using appropriate heading styles and meeting colour contrast requirements. 

Please get in touch if there are any documents that you are not able to access and we will provide the information in a different format.

Links are only identified by colour

• At times, only colour is used to differentiate hyperlinks from the rest of the page text. Hyperlink styling will be reviewed.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

• All images that are added are now all given a text alternative. Some older images may not have this alt text so people using a screen reader may not be able to access this older content.
• We will aim to review all old images and add text alternatives before our next review in May 2026..
