On arrival at Ballaugh School access to the main building is via the playground which is accessed primarily through a single gate next to the noticeboard. The main gate can be opened to facilitate easier access. The main entrance is at the front of the school via a sloped ramp involving 2 x 90 degree turns from the playground and a small threshold. The double front doors can be opened to make access easier. The rear access to the school building involves a step and there is no ramp. Please telephone the school on arrival so that access can be given through the larger gate and front doors.
The main teaching areas are on one level with a ramp and small threshold to a "mobile classroom". This ramp is accessed through a single gate. Part of the school building (pupils' kitchen, staffroom and headteachers office) is up stairs. There is no lift to access this area.
There is one accessible toilet located at the centre of the building.

Accessibility Plan
Schools are required to make ‘reasonable adjustments’ for children with disabilities under the Isle of Man Equality Act 2017, to alleviate any substantial disadvantage that a disabled child faces in comparison to non-disabled children. This can include, for example, the provision of a staff support, specialist equipment and resources or adjustments to premises.
