Description

Describe the bug

At all but the highest levels of zoom, the full screen sim has a micro:bit logo which you can click on to return to the home page:

This is not keyboard navigable, you can only access it by clicking on it. It should also be accessible by keyboard.

This is probably also relevant elsewhere, but possibly less critical as skip-links are used in some other places.
