In the summer of 2003 this site was launched. I was developed and written by Alastair 'Harry' Hamilton, whose children attend the school. If you are interested in having a website written for your family or business, or have any IT issue that need resolving then he can be contacted at Wise Owl Web Design or email to Alastair@WiseWebs.co.uk
The following details the technical standards that this site works towards. In doing so, the site is structured to provide maximum compatibility now and in the future.

Bobby is an implementation of the
W3C's WAI Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines and Techniques. Currently, Bobby supports the
W3C Recommendation released on May 5, 1999. These guidelines have been
organized into three levels of priority. Priority 1 (P1) items are mandatory
for baseline website accessibility. A website meets the Bobby Approved
standard if the entire website conforms to the checks for at least Priority
1 guidelines outlined by the Bobby tool. Bobby uses the guidelines for
accessibility created and maintained by the Web Access Initiative (WAI) at
the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). |

This logo shows conformance of the W3C Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 (CSS2). CSS2 is a style sheet language that allows us to attach style (e.g., fonts, spacing, and aural cues) to the website. By separating the presentation style of documents from the content of documents, CSS2 simplifies Web authoring and site maintenance. |

This logos shows our commitment to conformance Level A of the "W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0" The "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0" are a W3C specification providing guidance on accessibility of Web sites for people with disabilities. The specification contains guidelines which are general principles of accessible design. These guidelines not only make pages more accessible to people with disabilities, but also have the side benefit of making pages more accessible to all users, or to users using different browsers or one of the emerging handheld or voice-based computers. |

Websites must follow a set of textual rules (called HTML)
regarding how they are written. Web browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer and
Firefox) interpret pages on a website and display their results on the
screen. A web browser will try to display the page even if the content is
not valid HTML. Usually this means that the browser will try to make
educated guesses about what the page should look like. The problem is that
different browsers (or even different versions of the same browser) will
make different guesses about the same invalid HTML; worse, if your HTML is
really invalid, the browser could get hopelessly confused and produce a
mangled mess. Our site complies with version 1.1 of xHTML as recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This standard ensures that our site contains valid HTML and displays correctly and quickly on almost all web browsers. Today's browsers largely support HTML standards; both Firefox and Internet Explorer have committed themselves to supporting the W3C standards. |

This site has been designed for and tested on Microsoft
Internet Explorer 5.5, Netscape Navigator 6 and Firefox 1.x. If you have an earlier
version of one of these browsers then we would recommend you upgrade. This will ensure that the pages display correctly and as fast a possible for you. |
