Accessibility Statement
Goldfield Infants’ & Nursery 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 accessibility statement applies to Goldfield Infants’ & Nursery School website.
This website is run by Goldfield Infants’ & Nursery School. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.
For example, that means you should be able to:
Change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings
Zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
Navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

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’).

Compliance status
This website is fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 AA standard.
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 March 2026.
Disproportionate burden

Content that is not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

What we’re doing to improve accessibility
Infant schools are partially exempt from the accessibility requirements for public sector websites. This exemption does not extend to content that people need in order to use the school’s services (such as a Free School Meal application form if one was in use on the website) and an accessibility statement is still required.
Due to this partial exemption, Goldfield Infants’ & Nursery School believes it is currently meeting the government’s requirements on accessibility, but the school aims to continue to improve accessibility in the ways that have been referenced earlier in this statement.
Preparation of this accessibility statement
This statement was prepared on 5 March 2026
The statement will be reviewed regularly (at least annually) to ensure it reflects any updates to the site’s compliance with web accessibility standards.
