Eagle House

[EduCativ]

Welcome to our school. We are a lively, busy and hard-working school where all our pupils are helped to achieve the best they can.

Children are central to all we do and 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 are in the business of teaching children to a high standard, turning them into confident and interested learners, but the Eagle House experience offers more than this. Our academic, cultural, sporting, moral, and enrichment focus helps children understand and appreciate that variety is the key to becoming a rounded, responsible, and confident young person.

Learning for Life means that children benefit from an all-around education. They can feel confident in the classroom, on the games field, on stage, in the concert hall, and the community. We want our children to learn and each individual is given the chance to stretch him or herself in every area.

We are lucky to benefit from bright learning environments from classrooms to our performing arts studio, science laboratories to the Design Technology center, and the swimming pool to the Sports Hall. All these areas and more encourage Eagle House children to be adventurous and inquisitive. We benefit from the excellent facilities at Wellington College and our pupils and staff share in the innovative learning that the Wellington Group is renowned for.

It is not just facilities that mark out a school, it is the atmosphere that runs throughout the community. At Eagle House children and adults work in a happy, stimulating, and engaging environment.

We often say that Eagle House children have the time of their lives and we firmly believe this. Learning for Life at Eagle House opens the doors to all sorts of opportunities and this results in children who are highly motivated and enthusiastic in all they do.

Our co-curricular Golden Eagle program offers a wealth of activities that allow us to make the most of our wonderful environment, encouraging independence and leadership. Caring for children as they grow and learn is the most important job we do. Our dedicated and enthusiastic staff works to make sure all children are supported and happy.

Eagle House buzzes with achievement and laughter – not a bad way to learn!

Creativity All children are encouraged to use their creativity in what they produce in class. In all subjects, a creative approach for problem-solving, writing, or analyzing is always encouraged.

Knowledge Learning is about gaining knowledge. To have a desire to learn is one of our aims. Knowledge is key to being successful and children are encouraged to pursue a healthy quest for learning. Reading and private research are vital to achieving this.

Philosophy All children from Year 2 have Philosophy sessions throughout the term. We aim to teach children how to philosophize and to develop a disposition towards good thinking, to develop the ability to give clearer expression to their thoughts and ideas, to develop speaking and listening skills, and enable pupils to build on each other's ideas constructively and collaboratively.

Independent Learning A child must learn to use their learning in a way that acts as a stimulus for further study. Independent learning is crucial and through preps, projects, and self-assessment we encourage this in all subjects.

Technology In education technology is the way forward for learning. At Eagle House, we aim to combine technology to aid good teaching. This might be through a tablet, computer, smart boards. It is important to recognize that children live their lives through technology and as a school we incorporate technology in all areas of the curriculum where it will be beneficial to a child's learning.

Assessment There are several types of assessment at Eagle House. A child will be assessed through class tests, examinations, numerical and literacy standardized testing, as well as on their effort. Parents are kept up-to-date with a child's progress throughout the term and through an end-of-term report.

Discipline An Eagle House child is encouraged to adopt a disciplined approach to work so that they are organized, produce the best they can, and learn to keep to deadlines. With a subject teacher and tutor's care, each child is helped to develop a good work ethic as well as a disciplined approach to learning.
