What The Good Schools Guide says..
Pencil skills taught one-to-one and phonics and maths in small groups from reception – and what 5 year old wouldn’t want to start penning their first novel in the enchanting indoor ‘writing den’, draped in toile and festooned with fairy lights? Years 1 to 4 mainly class taught (class size max 20) and follow International Primary Curriculum which ‘finds common ground between rigour and enjoyment’ and means subjects, other than English and maths, are taught thematically around topics such as chocolate or fashion (‘brilliant’ say parents)...
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 unashamedly offer lots and know that busy children are happy and fulfilled children.

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.

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...
