Accessibility Statement
We want everyone to be able to find and compare schools on School Nest, whatever device or assistive technology they use.
Effective date: 30 September 2026 · Last updated: 30 September 2026
Our commitment
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. School Nest is a private service, not a public-sector body, but we use these guidelines as our standard.
Current status
The site has not yet had an independent accessibility audit, so we don't claim full compliance. From our own design and testing so far:
- pages are built to work on mobile and desktop and to zoom to 200% without losing content
- pages use headings, landmarks and labelled form fields for screen readers
- images published through School Nest require a text description
- we don't convert official grades into colours or symbols alone
Areas we know may still need work:
- some data tables and comparison views may be hard to use with small screens or screen readers
- some school-published content and photographs may lack good descriptions
- keyboard and screen-reader testing hasn't covered every dashboard screen
Reporting a problem
If something is hard to use, or you need information in a different format, email hello@schoolnest.co.uk with the page address and what happened. We aim to reply within 5 working days.
Ongoing improvement
We review accessibility as we build new features and will update this statement as we test and fix issues.
