Accessibility statement
The Foundations Press wants every teacher, parent and student to be able to use this site and its downloads. This page says what we have done, what we know is not yet right, and how to tell us when something does not work for you.
Standard
We work to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA for the website. The curriculum PDFs are produced to be readable with a screen reader; the printed page is also designed to be legible at 16 point and above.
What is in place
- Text and background colours meet the AA contrast ratio across the site, including the dark hero sections, checked on 20 October 2026.
- Every page has one heading structure, a labelled main region, and a skip link to it; navigation works by keyboard with a visible focus ring.
- Type is set in real text, never in images; the base size is 18 px and the page respects browser zoom to 200 percent without horizontal scrolling.
- Images carry alternative text; decorative art is marked as such. The films carry closed captions on YouTube, and full transcripts are on the films page.
- Forms have visible labels, error messages in text, and no time limits. No content flashes.
- Motion is limited to short fades, and the site honours the "reduce motion" setting.
Known limitations
- The free PDFs (scope and sequence, planner, lesson plans, the standard) are not yet tagged PDFs; the same content is available as plain tables on their pages and as CSV files.
- Arabic text inside PDFs is rendered as glyphs and may be read in the wrong order by some screen readers; the Arabic is always accompanied by transliteration and translation.
- The Gumroad checkout and YouTube players are third-party services with their own accessibility statements.
Tell us
If any part of the site or a download is hard to use, email abdulahi@thefoundationspress.com with "Accessibility" in the subject, or use the contact page. We answer within two working days and fix what we can in the next deploy. A school that needs a unit in large print, in a different file format, or with an alternative to an activity for a particular student can ask for it under its licence at no charge.
