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.

Check out the brilliant Crystal Grotto and the Gothic Temple!
There were also many big smiles and happy faces during the forest school river-building activity, as the children got stuck in and at one with nature. Muddy hands and knees can only confirm what a great time we all had!
Eastwick triumph in LDSSA annual Netball Tournament!
On Thursday 19th March 2026, seven girls from Year 6 took part in the annual Leatherhead and District Schools Sports Association (LDSSA) Netball Tournament. Eight other local schools took part including Oakfield, GBS, West Ashtead, Raleigh and Manor House.
It was a glorious spring morning and the girls were excited to get going, following their brilliant win over the Greville in the friendly match last Friday. We had eight games ahead of us, each one lasting for 8 minutes with small breaks for half time.
The girls played absolutely brilliantly. Each game was incredibly fast paced and after each half, they had to change positions as we were playing the High 5 form of netball. So each half meant the girls had to know exactly where to go on the pitch and who to mark. One moment you could be Goal Attack, the next Goal Defence so you couldn’t get comfortable in one place!
The girls won every single match convincingly. They scored a total of 39 goals and only conceded 4 - what an achievement! After every match, they shook hands with the opposition and always showed great sportsmanship.
Year 4 were really lucky with the weather today, as they enjoyed a sunny trip to Painshill Park.
The children took on the challenge of building rivers within teams, and completed forest school style tasks to make this possible.
We also took part in some team games to explore how water travels within rivers. We enjoyed a game of “Pooh Sticks” where we watched our sticks floating down the river and splitting off into two different directions.
For our second challenge, we explored the whole park, finding clues along the Roman Trail. We visited the Gothic Temple, the amphitheater, the Chinese Bridge, the Turkish Tent and we particularly enjoyed the crystal grotto! At each stop, we found out a new fact about the Romans, and then had to complete a challenge to receive a clue. We were very excited that the clues lead us to a treasure box of glass gems, which we were allowed to take home.
We are hoping the children will take this knowledge into their Summer term topics - Rivers and Romans.
Year 4 have been really enjoying their PE lessons this half term, learning how to incorporate different items into their gymnastics routines. The children used ribbons, materials and balls to creatively choreograph their own routines.
Reception celebrated Science week by immersing themselves in experiments. We made bubble mixture to paint and blow bubbles with, explored friction, the effects of salt on ice, made windsocks to explore the direction of wind and the grand finale was experimenting with various substances to create a volcano! Lots of fun and excitement for all! 🌋 🫧
Match report 1:
Eastwick delivered an outstanding performance against Greville, securing an impressive 22–6 victory. From the first centre pass, Eastwick moved the ball confidently down the court, showing good passing, movement, and communication.
The team worked hard in both attack and defence, with players supporting each other well and creating space to move the ball into the shooting circle. With all players rotating positions every interval, it was impressive to ses all the players showing great accuracy in the shooting circle, converting many of the team’s chances and helping Eastwick build an early lead.
Defensively, Eastwick applied good pressure, forcing turnovers and limiting Greville’s scoring opportunities. Interceptions and quick transitions back into attack helped maintain control of the game throughout.
Overall, it was an excellent team performance. Eastwick showed strong teamwork, determination, and skill across the court, resulting in a well-deserved 22–6 win.
Match report 2:
Eastwick made a positive start to the match, moving the ball well through the court and creating early attacking opportunities. The team showed good energy from the first centre pass and worked hard to support one another as play moved up the court.
A few footwork calls briefly interrupted Eastwick’s momentum, and with players rotating positions for the first time, it took a little time for the players to find their rhythm, with several early chances just missing the net.
As the match progressed, Eastwick became more confident in their passing and movement. The team worked hard in both attack and defence, communicating well and showing strong teamwork throughout the game.
Their determination paid off, and in a closely contested match Eastwick secured a 4–3 victory. It was a great team effort, with all players contributing and supporting each other across the court. A very strong performance in what was, for many, their first competitive netball match. Well played to all the girls!
This week, Year 5 had the opportunity to practise the recovery position on each other, as part of our PSHE ‘Healthy Me’ learning unit. They also learnt about basic first aid, including: how to treat burns, how to know if someone is unconscious, and how to support someone who is unwell.
They showed maturity throughout, and thoroughly enjoyed this hands-on experience.
