An Eastwick Education.
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.

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!

Our Junior pupils and teachers really enjoyed celebrating World Book Day today!
We started the day with an assembly, unpicking what makes reading fun and why sometimes it can be challenging. We then took part in a costume parade to show off all the fantastic efforts we had made.
After breaktime, the children all chose a new book that they wanted to listen to and then went to different teachers and different classrooms to hear their story of choice!
Throughout the rest of the day, many brave children took part in the Read Aloud Competition infront of their peers, as well as getting arty, crafty and solving a reading quiz.
Thank you to all of our parents and carers for supporting this special day!
Eastwick Yr 3/4 boys come 2nd and girls come 4th in cross country match!
On Friday 27th February 2026, 29 children from Year’s 3 and 4 took part in a cross country match at KGV, Effingham. The weather just about held out for us and the children were all keen and excited to take part.
The first race was the girls’ race. Nearly 80 children took part, all from 9 different local schools including Oakfield, St Lawrence and The Greville. Our Eastwick girls did brilliantly with our first four finishers totalling a score of 67.
The second race was the boys’ race. Well over 100 children took part which was fantastic. Our boys also ran superbly with our top four finishers achieving a score of 57!
Year 4 have been learning about different painting techniques within their Art lessons, as well as exploring how to create different tones and shades by mixing colours with white or black paint.
Check out some of their final pieces of artwork, where the children had to create a composition using everyday 3D objects, before sketching and painting the composition to make it look realistic! 🎨 ✏️ 👏🏼
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! 🎭 🎶
On Thursday 26th February 2026, seven children from the Ark took part in a Panathlon Challenge at The Priory School in Dorking.
“Panathlon is a national charity which gives young people with disabilities and special educational needs every year the opportunity to take part in competitive sport.” (Panathlon Challenge | Competitive sport for children with SEND
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.
In this week’s forest school session, our Reception classes had a belated pancake day celebration.
We enjoyed bug hunting, bird watching, making natural paint brushes and we also enjoyed a tasty pancake snack. A big thank you to all the parents who brought in pancakes for us to share! 🥞
