Accessibility Statement

Effective date: 9 July 2026

School Choice Report (reports on the state schools near a UK postcode with their latest Ofsted rating) is committed to making schoolchoicereport.co.uk accessible to the widest possible audience, including disabled people. We want everyone to be able to read our content, understand our reports, and complete a purchase.

Our commitment: WCAG 2.1 Level AA

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, the internationally recognised standard for web accessibility that underpins the European standard EN 301 549 and UK public-sector best practice. We also aim to meet our obligations to make reasonable adjustments for disabled users under the Equality Act 2010. We treat conformance as an ongoing effort, not a one-off task, and we test against this standard when we change the site.

Measures we take

Specific measures built into this site include:

A skip-to-content link so keyboard and screen-reader users can bypass the navigation.
Semantic HTML landmarks (header, nav, main, footer) and a single, logical heading structure on every page.
A visible keyboard focus indicator on every interactive element, so keyboard users can always see where they are.
Every form field is associated with a text label (or an accessible name), and icon-only controls have accessible labels.
Text and interface colour combinations chosen to meet the WCAG AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text and interface components), verified with automated tooling.
Meaningful alt text on informative images, and empty alt text on purely decorative images so screen readers skip them.
A responsive layout that reflows and remains usable when zoomed or viewed on small screens.

Known limitations

Despite our efforts, some limitations may remain. We are aware that content or components can occasionally fall short of full conformance, for example newly published content before it has been reviewed. We monitor for these and fix them as we find them. If you encounter a barrier that is not listed here, please tell us (see below) so we can address it.

Report an accessibility barrier

If you have difficulty accessing any part of this site, or you have a suggestion that would improve accessibility for you, we want to hear from you. Email [email protected] with the page address and a description of the problem. We aim to acknowledge accessibility reports within 5 working days and to work with you on a resolution or a usable alternative. If you need the information in the report you purchased provided in an alternative accessible format, contact us and we will provide it.

Feedback and complaints

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of School Choice Report. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may escalate your concern by replying to our correspondence so it reaches the site operator directly. Under the Equality Act 2010 we are committed to making reasonable adjustments so the service works for you.
