Using our websites
Our aim is to make our websites clear, easy to navigate and compatible with different devices and accessibility tools.
This includes supporting people who enlarge text, use a keyboard instead of a mouse or use a screen reader.
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard. An assessment of the updated websites is planned following publication. We will publish the results here, including any accessibility problems and the steps we are taking to resolve them.

It helps if you can tell us:

what went wrong

Technical information
The Cedars Academy Trust is committed to making its websites accessible in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018, where these apply.
Schools are partially exempt from these regulations, but the exemption does not cover content people need to access school services. We also have duties under the Equality Act 2010 to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people.
Our compliance status against WCAG 2.2 AA has not yet been assessed for the updated websites.
Preparation of this statement
This statement was prepared on 27 September 2026.
It will be reviewed following the accessibility assessment of the updated websites and amended to reflect the findings.
