Bardwell School

Welcome to Bardwell School

Bardwell is a Community Special School for pupils aged 2 – 19 years with complex, severe and profound learning difficulties, maintained by Oxfordshire County Council. We share a campus site with mainstream early years, primary and secondary and 6th form provision, a playgroup and a Children and Families Centre.

Bardwell supports pupils with a wide range of needs including sensory impairment, communication or language disorders, cerebral palsy, autism and more global developmental delay. Our pupils also have great strengths and we take every opportunity to celebrate these in school, with families and with the wider community.

Bardwell recently achieved Specialist Status in Communication and Interaction in recognition of our commitment to high quality provision in this area for all our pupils. Additional funding has supported training and additional resources as well as increasing speech and language provision across the school. It has enabled us to extend outreach and advisory work with mainstream schools and the local community.
