Site Navigation

The site is divided into 7 areas. The first area is the General site for the SSCO scheme as a whole. The navigation links for this area is refered to as the "Top Menu " and runs along the width of the screen at the top.

The other 6 areas belong to the actual schools within the program. The navigation for this is refered to as the "side menu ".

After selecting one of the schools you will be directed to the schools home page. The side navigation then opens up to present a list places to visit within that school area. This is refered to as the "School Menu"

Links have been placed at the start and end of the page to allow users with screen readers to easily select a specific menu or skip to the main page content.

The site also makes full use of the tab key. Pressing the tab key will take the user through each link and area on the page.

The Events Calendars.

Each area of the site has it's own events calendar updated by the particular school. The individual school calendars show just those events relating to that school.

The main SSCO calendar shows events that relate to the whole family and also notes if there is an event at a particlar school. A link is provided to go to that schools calendar for full details.

The text only Calendar is not in the traditional form but is presented as a list of days on which there is an event.
