Accessibility Statement

Our commitment to accessibility

Epping Music School is committed to making our website and our school as accessible as possible for everyone, including disabled visitors, parents, carers and students. We aim to follow good practice and to continually improve accessibility as we develop our site and services.

What web accessibility means

An accessible website is one that can be used by as many people as possible, regardless of their ability or the technology they use. This includes people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, screen magnifiers, voice recognition software or other assistive tools. We work to make our content clear, simple and easy to navigate so that everyone can find the information they need about our music lessons and activities.

Accessibility features on this site

We aim to:

• Use clear, simple language wherever we can.
• Use headings and structure to make pages easier to navigate.
• Provide good colour contrast between text and background.
• Make text resizable using your browser settings.
• Ensure links are descriptive so it is clear where they go.
• Design pages so they can be navigated using a keyboard.

Where we are still improving

We know that not every part of the site is perfect yet. For example, some images may not have full alternative text, and some documents may not be fully accessible. We are reviewing our content and will continue to make improvements. If you find anything that makes it hard for you to use the site, please let us know so we can look at it as a priority.

Accessibility at our school building

Our school has step‑free access to the main entrance and teaching areas, and there is an accessible toilet on site. If you or your child have specific access needs (for example, mobility, hearing or visual support), please contact us in advance so we can discuss how best to support you during lessons, rehearsals or events.

Feedback, requests and contact details

We welcome feedback about the accessibility of our website and our school. If you experience any difficulty using this site, notice an accessibility problem, or need information in a different format, please contact us and tell us:

• The page or area you were trying to use.
• What went wrong or what you found difficult.
• What device and browser you were using, if you know.

We will review your request and do our best to respond and make reasonable improvements.
