Accessibility Statement

Version 0.1-draft · Effective 2026-11-07

DRAFT: for review by the Data Protection Officer and school administration.

We want teachers and staff to be able to use this system comfortably, whatever device or assistive tool they use. This statement tells you what we have done, what is still weak, and how to tell us about problems.

What we do

• Keyboard. Menus, forms, buttons, dialogs and tables can be used with the keyboard. Use Tab and Shift+Tab to move, Enter or Space to press, and Esc to close a dialog. A "Skip to main content" link appears when you press Tab at the top of a page.
• Screen readers. We use standard HTML controls, text labels on form fields, headings, and text for messages and errors (not color alone). We are still checking that every icon-only button has a text name and that decorative icons are hidden from screen readers.
• Dark mode and light mode. Choose Light, Dark or System (follows your device) with the sun and moon button at the top of every page, including the login page. Dark mode helps people who are sensitive to bright screens.
• Contrast and color. Text and controls are designed to be readable in both themes. Chart series colors were chosen so they can be told apart by people with common types of color-vision difference.
• Zoom and small screens. Pages resize for phones and tablets and can be zoomed in the browser without losing content.
• Plain language. We try to use short, clear sentences.

What we have not finished or tested

We aim for the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 level AA, but we have not yet had an independent accessibility audit. Known weak points:

• Drag and drop for ordering parts in the Template Editor is hard to use with only a keyboard. Ask the Administrator for help if you need it.
• Charts show visual patterns and may not be readable by a screen reader. Where a table of the same numbers is not shown beside a chart, ask the teacher or Administrator for the numbers.
• Camera scanning and answer sheets. Shading bubbles and holding a camera steady need sight and hand control. A teacher can enter or correct answers by hand when a student or teacher cannot use the sheet or camera.
• Printed and downloaded papers (PDF, Word, Excel) always use a light, print layout. If you need a larger print size or another format for a student, ask the teacher to change the template font size.
• Some third-party parts of the page, such as the table search and the pop-up messages, may not work equally well with every screen reader.

Tell us about a problem

If you find something you cannot use, or you need information in another form, please tell us. Use the Contact and Support page and choose Accessibility. Please say which page, what you tried to do, and which browser or assistive tool you use. We will reply to [TO CONFIRM: time the school commits to, for example 5 working days].

If we cannot fix the problem soon, we will suggest another way to do the same task.
