The Eggar’s Experience is at the heart of our extensive extra-curricular opportunities with more than 50 after school clubs which develops students’ creativity, talents and passion for their lives beyond Eggar’s.

History
The school has one of the oldest foundations in the county. Under a Trust Deed dated 21st March 1638, a local farmer named John Eggar realised his idea of providing a school to serve the needs of its community. The first Head Teacher was appointed in 1642 – the date that appears on the school badge and which is proudly displayed on the current Eggar’s school blazer.
In 1968 the school moved from the original site to the modern buildings and spacious grounds it now occupies at Holybourne. In 2012 the school decided to become an Academy as a means to secure existing standards and to further develop the school.
Facilities available to let
Eggar’s has some brilliant facilities and spaces which are available to let. Whether you are looking for a venue for a conference, a space for rehearsals, a hall for a show or party, a pitch for a kick about or a room for a meeting, we have a variety of spaces to meet your needs.
