1. Our Approach
The website is designed with readable typography, responsive layouts, keyboard-friendly controls, meaningful headings, descriptive image alternatives and clear navigation in mind.
Kiamaiko Primary School & Education Centre aims to make its website usable by parents, learners, staff and visitors with different access needs.
The website is designed with readable typography, responsive layouts, keyboard-friendly controls, meaningful headings, descriptive image alternatives and clear navigation in mind.
Interactive navigation and forms should be operable without requiring a mouse. Skip navigation links and visible focus states should help users move through important content efficiently.
Important images should have meaningful alternative text. Decorative imagery should not create unnecessary barriers. Media published in the future should consider captions or transcripts where appropriate.
Forms should use visible labels, clear instructions and understandable validation messages. Required information should be identified before submission.
The site is intended to work across phones, tablets and desktop screens. Users should be able to access key school information without needing a large screen.
School information should use straightforward language, logical headings and descriptive link text. Critical information should not depend solely on colour.
If a page, document, form or interaction creates an accessibility barrier, please report the issue through the school's contact channel with the page name and, where possible, a brief description of the problem.
Accessibility is an ongoing process. The school should review new content, documents and digital services before publication and improve barriers identified by users.
