Important: The disability equality plan is currently under review and information will appear here online very shortly.

At Penketh we are totally committed to developing our facilities for disabled pupils, staff, and visitors. The school has worked with Warrington Borough Council over recent years to ensure that all future building programs align closely with D.D.A. requirements. All existing sections of the school now have at least one entrance door of extra width to accommodate wheelchair users and gently sloping access areas.

As part of building plans, we are engaging in a programme of alterations to internal door widths to meet further sections of the legislation. A complete rebuild of our present disabled toilet facilities will include an enlarged room incorporating shower, changing and hoist equipment.

We have several, designated, extra sized parking bays in the front car park, and we are in the process of making improvements to steps and gradients by providing tactile stimuli to aid people who are partially sighted. These measures are all part of Penketh High School’s drive to be able to fully integrate all sections of our community into our working environment.
