Eagle House was founded in 1820, and has been on its present site since 1886. The School is administered by a board of governors under the overall control of Wellington College.
Children are prepared for Scholarship and Common Entrance examinations to senior Independent Schools (about 80% of the boys go on to Wellington). There are 24 members of the teaching staff and 2 matrons. The average class size is 15.
The school is situated between Sandhurst and Crowthorne in over 30 acres of playing fields which include a large all-weather sports area, a Sports Hall, an indoor heated swimming pool, extensive woodlands and a small lake. The principal games are rugby, hockey, soccer, netball and cricket. Other sports include athletics, swimming, tennis, cross country, squash, judo, basketball, archery, racquets, riding and golf. The school has access to the grounds and facilities of Wellington College which has a 400-acre site next to Eagle House.
Much emphasis is placed on the Arts and there are excellent facilities for music, art, design and drama. Music scholarships are available for outstanding young musicians. The school has its own chapel. Major building works in 1988 provided 2 new science laboratories, a large Arts Hall, classrooms and a Resources Centre (comprising a library, computer room and audio-visual room).
The Pre-Prep Department provides an excellent educational foundation for boys and girls aged 3-7.
