Founded in 1820, it is one of the country's oldest preparatory schools. HistoryEagle House was founded in 1820[2] at Brook Green, Hammersmith. In 1860 it moved to a house named Brackenbury's at Wimbledon, then in 1886, after a major fire,[3] moved to its present home at Sandhurst.[4][5] In 1930 a severe outbreak of chicken-pox and measles reduced the school's numbers from twenty-nine to five, but the school soon recovered.[6] The school was purchased by Wellington College in 1968 and shares most of its governors.[7] Between 1957 and 1962 Nick Drake, later a singer-songwriter, attended the school and became head boy. He was taught French at the school by John Watson, who while still at Eagle House came second in the Eurovision Song Contest 1960 with his song Looking High, High, High.[8] Lieutenant-General Sir John Cowley chaired the school's Governing Body from 1968 to 1976.[9]Present dayOriginally for boys only, Eagle House now caters for boys and girls between the ages of three and thirteen.[1] It is in the same ownership as Wellington College, forming part of the same registered charitable organization. There is also a Wellington College in China.[10] A majority of pupils continue their secondary education at the College. Before the College went fully coeducational in 2005, most girls left at age 11 for secondary school. The school releases its own publication titled "The Eagle" regularly which is available to students in hard copies and also on the school's website. Headmasters
