We have made every effort to make Foxes Academy's website accessible and easy to use for everyone. It has been tested to work with all modern browsers, including IE6+, Firefox, Safari and Opera, and is compabable with all major screen reading software.
We have designed Foxes Academy's website to conform to accessibility standards as detailed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Our website successfully validates as XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS valid. This helps ensure the website is usable on a range of web browsers both old and new.
At any time you can access the accessibility panel which resides at the top of each page. You have the option to increase the size of text used throughout the website. Your settings will be saved for future use.
Our website has been designed so it can be completely navigated using a keyboard. This is designed for users who find using pointer devices such as mice difficult.
To use these access keys, hold down the ALT key (PC) or CONTROL Key (Apple) and press one of the keys in the list below. If you are using Firefox or Opera, you will have to use SHIFT+Access Key. In some browsers, such as Internet Explorer, you will have to press 'Enter' once the link has been selected.
Foxes Academy promotes the use of AccessApps, an initiatve supported by the JISC RRSC and JISC TechDis. It consists of over 60 open source and freeware Windows applications which can be run from a USB stick.
