History
The Swan is part of the River Learning Trust which also includes nearby Cherwell School. The school has a capacity of 1,260 pupils. Admissions first started with an intake of 120 students in September 2019, into temporary accommodation. New premises were constructed on Marston Ferry Road and the school moved in September 2020. As of January 2024 the school has a teaching complement of 46.

Pupils at the Swan are banned from bringing in pack lunches, with all served meals being vegetarian in order to realise "environmental benefits" and enable "better quality" food. In September 2022 the school was reported to have the highest exclusion rate in the county of Oxfordshire, with 11% of pupils having temporary suspensions over the preceding year. The Swan achieved an overall rating of "Good" in its first Ofsted inspection in September 2023, however it achieved "Outstanding" ratings in behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision.
