This page has been designed with accessibility in mind. The pages at northbrook.ac.uk are designed in standards compliant XHTML and checked with the World Wide Web Consortium using their Online Validator . This ensures browser compatibility with existing browsers and future ones.

These standards enable useful accessibility features to be used with this (and any other) standard compliant website.

These features include:

• In most other browsers, this can be done by holding down the 'Ctrl' button and pressing the + and - keys.
• All images that convey information have an 'alt' attribute that describes what the image is describing.
• No information is exclusively conveyed using colour.
