Eagle House is one of the oldest preparatory schools in the country having been founded in 1820. At that time the school was sited in Hammersmith, from there moving in 1860 to Wimbledon, and finally to its present location in Sandhurst in 1886.
In 1993 the Pre-Prep was opened for boys aged from 4 to 7, and two years later the first girls were welcomed. The following year, 1996, the school became fully co-educational. The final change of significance was the opening in 1997 of the Nursery for children aged 3 years.
Today Eagle House has 267 pupils in the Prep School, and 133 in the Pre-Prep and Nursery.
In total the school employs about 70 people on the teaching staff. In addition there are many visiting music teachers and also visiting coaches who offer sports and activities tuition. The school has an excellent record of scholarship success. The aim of the school is to provide all pupils with a broad based, all-round education.
The school is located in some 30 acres of its own land which are adjacent to the 400+ acres owned by Wellington College.
As part of the Senior Leadership Team at Eagle House the new Head of Pre-Prep should be an existing leader or ready for headship. You need an excellent track record of enthusing and inspiring pupils in the Early Years and Key Stage 1 and leading and developing the staff who work with them.
You should be organised, great at working with a team with an excellent track record. Candidates must have dedication, enthusiasm, a sense of humour and a willingness to participate fully in the extra-curricular life of the school. The Head of Pre-Prep won’t have their own class but will be expected to have a teaching role albeit a heavily reduced timetable.
Eagle House is a flourishing independent preparatory school, closely linked with Wellington College.
