Accessibility Statement

Our commitment

We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA and to be usable by young children and by adults with a range of needs.

What we do

• Dyslexia-friendly type: body text uses Atkinson Hyperlegible, chosen for legibility.
• Big, clear targets for children: child touch targets are at least 64px; one obvious action per screen.
• Colour & contrast: text meets AA contrast; colour is never the only way to convey meaning.
• Keyboard & focus: interactive elements are keyboard-reachable with a visible focus outline.
• Reduced motion: animations respect prefers-reduced-motion; the interface still works fully with motion off.
• Semantic structure & alt text for assistive technologies.

Known limitations

We publish what we know rather than claim we are finished. As at August 2026:

• A small number of colour-contrast shortfalls remain on adult-facing surfaces — some status badges and role labels in the teacher and admin areas fall just below the AA contrast ratio. Around thirty elements are affected. Every child-facing screen meets AA, and this is being fixed as part of settling the brand palette.
• Voice notes have no automatic transcript. A recording made by a child is not captioned, so a Deaf parent cannot read what was said. A teacher can add a written caption to any moment, and we would rather say this plainly than let a family discover it.

If something here affects you, please tell us — a known issue that is blocking a real person moves up the list.
