Accessibility Statement

Accessibility statement for COLCHESTER SIXTH FORM COLLEGE WEBSITE

This accessibility statement applies to www.colchsfc.ac.uk

This website is run by The Sixth Form College Colchester. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • Change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings
  • Zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • Navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
  • Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

How accessible this website is

We've purchased a new website (Jan '24) with a clear intention to dramatically improve the accessibility of our college website. We launched early February '24 and are in the process of testing for areas where accessibility may still be a concern. As soon as the testing process is complete we will update this statement.
