Ready for Everything.
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.

Last week, ten Year 5 children were kindly invited to watch a special performance of ‘High School Musical’ at Therfield school, as part of our extended secondary transition programme. The show was performed by a mixture of students from Years 7-12, and it was a spectacular display of talent, confidence and humour.
The children from Year 5 loved the performance and conducted themselves with respect throughout. Thank you to Therfield for facilitating this wonderful experience for some of our children! 🎭 🎶

The children took part in a rotation of eight different activities including Boccia Blast, Flight Path, Bowling and Basketball. They spent 7 minutes at each activity, scoring as many points for their Eastwick team as possible. It was a really fun event, also attended by 8 other local schools. At the end, we all gathered together to celebrate our achievements. The children each received a wonderful medal and a certificate and couldn’t wait to get back to school to show their friends!
We were so impressed by the children’s determination and sportsmanship, cheering each other on and trying their best.
On Tuesday, the Eastwick Choir performed at the Surrey Arts Primary School Music Festival at Dorking Halls. They sang beautifully, remembering all the words, actions, and timings. Several of the songs were particularly challenging, including pieces sung in four-part rounds and one with a Latin chorus.
The choir also performed their own piece, I Just Gotta Sing, showing great confidence on a large stage in front of a big audience. Mrs Bletso and Mrs Morgan received many lovely comments praising the children’s wonderful singing and exemplary behaviour. We are all incredibly proud of them.
