Education Accessibility Strategy (EAS) 2025-28
The Education Accessibility Strategy (PDF, 1.6 MB) was written in response to the Schedule 10 of the Equality Act 2010.
The Act stipulates that the purpose of an accessibility strategy is to:
- Increase the extent to which disabled pupils can participate in the schools’ curriculums;
- Improve the physical environment of the schools to increase the extent to which disabled pupils can make best use of the opportunities available at the schools; and
- Improve delivery of accessible information to disabled pupils of information which is readily accessible to pupils who are not disabled.
The strategy outlines the actions that the local authority currently undertakes to support pupils in the three areas above, the expectations of schools in each regard and the actions that the Local Authority will undertake to improve things further.
