Accessibility

Accessibility describes whether a website can be used by people of all abilities and disabilities, for example, the elderly, partially sighted or hard of hearing.

The BBC have produced a website dedicated to improving accessibility online, it is called 'My web my way'.

Visit My Web my way

The site provides helpful advice for those who can't see well, are blind, can't hear well, find words difficult or find a keyboard or mouse hard to use. There are guides on:

  • Changing text and background colours
  • Changing fonts
  • Magnifying your screen
  • Making the mouse pointer easier to see
  • Making your computer speak text aloud
and other useful tips and fact sheets.

It is important to us that this website is accessible to everyone. If you have any difficulty using the Upper Shirley High website, please contact us.
