Choosing a Secondary School for September 2021? Curious about Eggar's?
At Eggar’s there would normally be plenty of opportunities for you and your child to get a feel for our school and everything that we offer. Obviously this year has been very different.
Head Teacher's Presentation: Open Events 2020
Obviously you would normally be able to listen in person to Mr Sullivan during an Open Event in school. This year we have prepared a presentation video including the student perspective on Eggar's from two Year 7s and two Year 11s.

So you can experience Eggar’s in action, we normally have several Open Events in the year: three in July (including one on a Saturday morning), two in September (including an evening event) and one in October. Please click here for dates. Parents and students can come along to Eggar’s and get a feel of what life is like here, a sense of the teaching and excellent facilities, and an opportunity to talk to current students, staff and the Head Teacher Patrick Sullivan. No appointments are necessary.
Come and visit us at any time
You don’t have to wait for our Open Events. Please come and visit us at any time! Take a walk around our beautiful site and check out the outstanding facilities to see both our students and staff in action.
Simply call (01420) 541194 or email Mrs Street (enquiries@eggars.hants.sch.uk) to make an appointment.
We look forward to welcoming you.
Transition
The transition from primary to secondary is made much easier by the warm, caring and supportive atmosphere at Eggar’s. We are smaller than the average school in the area and this allows us to know all our students really well. This not only creates a fantastic support network throughout all year groups but also generates a welcoming and engaging school community.
We have a comprehensive transition programme to ensure that there are no surprises for your child as they begin the next phase of their education. From the moment you have confirmed their place at Eggar’s in March, they will start to spend time at the school – becoming familiar with the teachers, the school environment and what they can expect in September.
If you have any questions about your child’s transition from primary to secondary, please don’t hesitate to contact Cathy Vickers.
