Accessibility statement for Surrey Online School 

​

This website is run by Surrey County Council in partnership with Tute Education Ltd. We are committed to providing an accessible website that is easy to use by anyone, whatever their age, background, access device or level of ability/disability. 

For example, that means you should be able to: 

​

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts 

  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen 

  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard 

  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software 

  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver) 

 

We've also made the website text as simple as possible to understand. 

​
