Documents on our website, such as PDF policies, are being converted to a format that meets accessibility standards.
Please contact the Webmaster if you have any issues accessing the information on this website or if you wish to provide any feedback.
When websites are designed, developed and edited, all users can have equal access to the sites' information, functionality and benefits. We aim to make our website accessible and usable for people of all abilities and disabilities.
We aim to audit our website every six months and resolve any conflicts that may have arisen since the last audit (March 2026).
Many people use assistive technologies to view websites in easier-to-read colours, larger fonts, or as spoken text. They can also help navigate a site using only the keyboard.
The following items have been prioritised to assist with consistency and accessibility:
- Consistent Shrewsbury College header and footer navigation.
- Navigation - Website navigation is coded as lists to ensure that all menu navigation can be read by screen readers.
- Heading elements (H1, H2, H3), etc., are used throughout the website.
- Images - All images are coded to use an ALT attribute. Blank alt attributes are used for decorative images, such as bulleted lists and spacer images.
- Font-sizing and Stylesheets - Content and presentation are separate, with presentation being controlled by Stylesheets. The default font is set to a sans-serif font for the main webpage content, and fonts can be resized in each browser. (See table below for detailed instructions.)
- The colour contrast across this website has been checked to ensure it meets recognised accessibility standards and remains readable for users with visual impairments.
- Forms - All forms are coded where labels are explicitly linked to the relevant input field.
This website can be customised to suit your own needs and preferences by changing basic appearance settings. Please note that exact menu names may differ between versions in the following browsers:
