What the school says...
At Eagle House our pupils are Learning for Life. Children are central to all we do. Our school is a way of life for all pupils.

We want our children to learn and each individual is given the chance to stretch him or herself in every area. We instil a desire for knowledge, a respect for each other and the world around them and the motivation to succeed in all they do. ...Read more

Since 2006, Andrew Barnard BA (50s). Educated at Christ’s Hospital and Sheffield University (archaeology). Joined Eagle House to teach English and history, becoming head of history before moving to Heath Mount School as housemaster and head of English, followed by deputy headship at Winchester House, then back to Eagle House as head. Ably assisted by wife Sarah who fulfils hands-on role as trad headmaster’s spouse as well as teaching French and EAL. Their three adult children are all Old Wellingtonians and two have followed their parents into the teaching profession.
Relaxed, warm and highly personable; on the door every morning and visibly thrives on the hustle and bustle of a busy prep. Throws himself into the daily fray whether teaching history or playing an ugly sister in the annual staff...
