Sport plays an extremely important role in the life of every Eagle House pupil.  We believe that providing quality and varied sporting opportunities is an essential part of school life, both for health and fitness reasons as well as the sense of achievement and value that active participation and successful competition can bring.

Our philosophy is based on the dual aims of Sport for all and the pursuit of excellence.

We actively encourage as many boys and girls as possible to represent the School in whatever capacity and at all levels and not simply promote the most able. This however, does not compromise our desire to fully extend our most talented performers and enable them to play at the highest possible standard.

The children are involved in Physical Education and Games five days a week with our main fixtures taking place on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons.

Main Sports – Boys 1st Half Michaelmas – Football 2nd Half Michaelmas – Rugby Lent – Hockey and Rugby Sevens Summer – Cricket

Main Sports – Girls Michaelmas – Hockey & Netball Lent – Netball & Hockey Summer – Rounders

In addition to the above we offer many other sports including Cross Country, Athletics and Tennis.  We have a varied and challenging P.E. Curriculum where all pupils participate in Swimming, Basketball, Gymnastics, Dance and Health Related Fitness Classes.  Other Sports such as Archery, Golf, Table Tennis, Trampolining, Squash and Judo are offered as part of the Activity Programme.

Our facilities are excellent and include 4 rugby/football pitches, 3 cricket squares, a brand new half pitch astroturf (opened 2010), 6 Netball courts, a newly refurbished indoor swimming pool, 4 outdoor cricket nets, 3 tennis courts and a sports hall.  We are also fortunate enough to have full use of Wellington College’s sporting facilities, which are only minutes away.

With plans for a state of the art Sports and Performing Arts Centre having just been approved and building set to commence in April 2012, the future for Sport at Eagle House looks very exciting indeed!
