Welcome
Welcome to Eastwick Schools, a federation of Eastwick Infant School and Eastwick Junior School. We are proud to be a part of The Howard Partnership Trust.
Our children achieve highly, with results that are consistently above the national average. Just as importantly, we take great pride in the way our pupils flourish personally and socially, growing into confident young people who are truly “ready for anything”. We are fortunate to have an exceptional school site: featuring a swimming pool, two large playing fields, two woodlands and a wealth of playground equipment. With abundant open green spaces, our grounds offer an unrivalled environment for outdoor learning, exploration and sporting opportunities.

Year 6 really enjoyed their PSHE trip to Epsom racecourse to learn about how to stay safe and look after their health, as they become more mature and independent. The children spent time with staff from British Transport Police learning about the third rail and the power and speed of trains. They now know how many football pitches it takes to stop when the brakes are applied, how many tonnes the trains weigh and what voltage the third rail uses - ask them to tell you about it!
The children also learnt about the safe way to help anyone in difficulty in the water from a water safety expert. NHS nurses reminded them of the 2/2/2 rule for looking after our teeth and shocked us with the details of how many sugar cubes there are in certain fizzy drinks and cereals. They also discovered there are over 4000 chemicals in a cigarette!
However, the highlight of the day was learning CPR with the ambulance crew to the tune of baby shark! The professionals we met were all impressed with how well the children listened and it was great to see such a fantastic display of the school values from the year group. Well done, Year 6!

On Friday 6th Marc, 10 Year 1 children took part in an indoor sports hall festival at Esher 6th Form College.
There were 10 local schools at the event, which was organsied by Active Surrey and supported by some of the 6th form students.
The children took part in different activities including: throwing a foam javelin, throwing a bean bag into a target, finding out how many jumps they could do in 1 minute, balancing, relay races and many others!
It was a really fun afternoon and the children were so supportive of each other. Well done, Team Eastwick!
A few more photos to enjoy, as we wind down from our Word Book Day celebrations last week. The children are still talking about some memorable moments and many children have also visited the school library to choose a new book they’ve been inspired by.
We hope all of our children can build a deeper love for reading as they head through the school, year by year ❤️🧡💛 📚 📖
Year 5 and 6 excel at very soggy cross country match!
On Friday 5th March 2026, nine brave children from Year 5 and 6 took part in their last cross country match of the season. It took place at KGV and eight other local schools were in attendance.
The sun had been shining in the morning but by 1pm, the heavens opened and didn’t stop! By the time the races began, the grass had turned to mud but, as some people say, it was true cross country weather! ☔️
Well done to all of our brilliant runners, and thank you to our parents and carers for bringing them along and supporting! 🏃🏻♂️
As part of our World Book Day initiative to promote the love of reading, our pupils were allowed to sign up to a book reading of their choice. The
Later in the day, the teachers then revealed which books they had selected and the children went off around the school to enjoy hearing their chosen text being read aloud.
There was a huge choice from picture books like “Don’t Trust Fish” 🐠 and “The Big Freeze” 🥶 to chapter books like “A Series of Unfortunate Events” and “The Magic Finger”.
We hope our children have been inspired to explore new authors and genres! 📚
Take a look at our wonderful Junior choir, performing one of their latest songs, "I Just Gotta Sing".
We are very proud of you all for learning the tune, lyrics and actions so confidently - well done!
Eastwick come 2nd at Indoor Athletics Competition and are through to the County Final!
On Thursday 5th March 2026, 24 children from Year's 5 and 6 took part in an Indoor Athletics Competition at Heathside School, Walton-on-Thames. The event was organised by Active Surrey and six local schools took part.
Our children took part in races such as the obstacle relay, over and under and the 6 lap paarlauf where teams of two cover 6 laps between them whilst carrying a baton. There were also field events including speed bounce, long jump and chest push.
It was an exciting event and the children were brilliant. There was not one baton dropped or speed bounce missed! They showed great support for each other and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.
Once all the events had taken place, we gathered together to hear the results - we came 2nd! This means, like last year, that we have qualified for the County Final which takes place at The Spectrum, Guildford on Thurs 26th March 2026! We are so proud of all the children for this amazing achievement - all the hard work and training paid off!
In the Infant School, our visiting author, Vicky Phillips, read one of her stories, "Romesh's Rage" to the children which helped us to think about our emotions and how we can help ourselves when our feelings become big.
Vicky visited each infant year group to share her stories and talk to the children about how she became an author. The children asked some excellent questions and this is what Vicky said;
"I just wanted to say thank you for inviting me to visit Eastwick this morning. The children were absolutely delightful and I had such a lovely time chatting about the books and sharing the stories with them".
At the end of the day, the infant pupils were lucky enough to have some bi-lingual parents coming in to read stories to the children in their native language. An amazing opportunity to hear the rhythm and lilt of a different language to their own. A huge thank you to those parents involved!
All in all, it was a wonderful day celebrating reading!
