Stories from schools

From trial
to action
in the first
week

St John Fisher Catholic Primary School

As part of AccessHub's pilot programme, St John Fisher used the platform to review and strengthen its accessibility planning. Within the first week, the school had already identified immediate improvements, longer-term priorities and new ideas that have since been incorporated into its School Improvement Plan.

"AccessHub isn't a checklist; it's a live, working tool packed with suggestions and guidance. Using it feels a bit like talking to a consultant, making the whole process more reflective and purposeful."
Key outcomes

— Accessibility plan reviewed and strengthened
— New priorities identified for visually impaired pupils
— Improvements incorporated into the School Improvement Plan
— Broader consideration of range of disabilities, not just physical access

Everyday
inclusion

Carlton Vale & Kilburn Park Schools

After exploring ways to be more neurodiverse-friendly, the federation used AccessHub and Access Champions training to strengthen accessibility more broadly across school life. Staff reviewed learning environments, updated policies and embedded accessibility more consistently across wider school improvement work.

"AccessHub has become part of our school development. It has helped us take a step back, evaluate our settings and think more consistently about everyday inclusion."
Key outcomes

— Accessibility and inclusion policy reviewed
— Classroom environments adapted to reduce sensory load
— Accessibility embedded within wider school development
— Greater focus on the wider school community, not just pupils

Learning together

Sometimes the biggest difference comes from taking a fresh look. Across our pilot schools and early adopters, AccessHub has already helped schools:

  • Review and strengthen accessibility plans
  • Identify quick wins alongside longer-term priorities
  • Improve learning environments
  • Develop more inclusive policies
  • Gather evidence more consistently
  • Broaden thinking beyond physical accessibility
  • Connect accessibility to SIPs and inclusion priorities

Every school's journey is different, but each step helps create a more welcoming environment for pupils, staff, families and visitors.

"Pupils told us clearly that accessibility is their number one priority. This isn't just about compliance — it's a real, lived issue."

Listening to
young people

We've partnered with the Multi Schools Council to hear directly from pupils about what accessibility means to them. Their perspectives help shape AccessHub.

Free training
for schools

Access Champions brings school leaders together to explore accessibility from different perspectives, learn from specialists and each other, and turn ideas into practical action. Our six-part online programme is fully funded for eligible schools, with places available on upcoming cohorts.
