School Traffic Marshall job summary

About the Role

We are looking for a friendly, helpful person to welcome our students onto site at the start of the school day, and marshall traffic at the entrance to the school. Our school entrance is on the Marston Ferry Road, so you will be limiting vehicles coming onto site, ensuring the cycle path remains clear and enabling the students to come safely into school. The hours needed are 8am to 9am each morning during term time (ie 38 weeks of the year)

About the school

The Swan School, part of the River Learning Trust, is Oxford’s first new secondary school for over 50 years, and opened in September 2019. When full, we will have approximately 1,200 students on roll, of whom around 300 will be in the Sixth Form. Our students will be drawn from a local catchment area and the school will be at the heart of the community.

Learning from the most successful approaches at the best schools, The Swan School provides a uniquely challenging and structured experience in a caring and disciplined environment. The ethos is academic; we regard an excellent academic education as the entitlement of all young people, no matter what their background or previous experiences of learning. Students are inspired and nurtured, acquiring the knowledge and skills to think critically and creatively. They will learn to be confident, resilient and ambitious, and will have high expectations in terms of their own achievements and their contribution to wider society.
