Branch-Out

Bardwell Branch-Out is a specialist provision in play and leisure activities for children and young people aged 5-19 with impairments.

We believe that every child and young person has the right to freely chosen play within a dedicated and fully inclusive environment. 

Bardwell Branch-Out is commissioned by Oxfordshire County Council to run three weekly after school sessions and a weekly youth group session during term time. In addition, we are commissioned to run four days a week across holiday timetables. 

Bardwell Branch-Out is an open-access provision, therefore families can self-refer. Please contact the Branch-Out Manager if you are interested in enrolling your child.
