This website is run by Hugglescote Community Primary School and this statement applies to www.hugglescote.leics.sch.uk. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

• Readable text and contrast – We use clear fonts, appropriate colour contrast, and resizable text options to assist users with visual impairments.

• Captions and transcripts – Any videos on our site include subtitles or transcripts for those with hearing impairments.

• Adjustable content – Users can modify text size, contrast, or spacing without breaking the website layout.

We've also made the website text as simple as possible to understand. Moving forward, we are committed to adding Text alternatives to images, charts, and other non-text content, so that this descriptive alternative text can be used by screen readers to describe them. 

Some of our historic PDFs cannot be read by screen readers but newer documents can.  If required paper copies of all policies and forms can be requested from the School Office.  Please contact them on 01530 832721 for help. 

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