Eastwick Pupils Shine as Leatherhead FC Mascots!
On Saturday 10th October 2026, thirteen boys from Years 3 to 6 proudly represented Eastwick as mascots for Leatherhead FC's men's league fixture against Cheshunt FC.
The day began with a warm welcome from Dave, Leatherhead FC's Community Officer, followed by an exciting football session on the beautifully maintained pitch. The boys then had the opportunity to visit the dressing room and meet the players, who were in great spirits ahead of the match. They asked some thoughtful questions, shared a few jokes and enjoyed finding out more about life as a footballer.
Next, the boys watched both teams prepare for kick-off and learned about the importance of being physically and mentally ready for a match. They also met Swannell, the club's fantastic mascot, before taking part in the highlight of the day: walking onto the pitch with the players and high-fiving the opposition team. It was wonderful to see the boys looking so proud, with smiles all round.
The excitement continued as they watched an action-packed first half from the stands. At half-time, the boys returned to the pitch for a penalty shootout with Dave, producing some excellent strikes and impressive goals. They then cheered on Leatherhead throughout the second half. Although Leatherhead scored, they were unfortunately defeated 2-1. The day finished with the chance to collect autographs and high-fives from the players after the match.
We are incredibly proud of the boys, who represented the school brilliantly and demonstrated our Eastwick values throughout the day.

On Friday 9th October 2026, 12 children from Years 5 and 6 took part in their second cross country match of the season. What started as a blustery afternoon soon turned into torrential rain, but this certainly didn't dampen our children's enthusiasm. They showed fantastic resilience and determination throughout the event.

Year 1 had a very exciting science lesson today. They learnt about human senses and carried out a smell test to identify whether the items were sweet, strong, floral or a stench!
I wonder if you can guess the smell type from our reactions in these photos! 😂

Year 6 experienced a “battle in the trenches” before exploring diaries of WW1 soldiers in a recent English lesson.
The children had to think about the soldiers’ safety, threats, protection and living conditions before putting this into words as a diary entry of their own.

Year 3 put on their chef hats this afternoon in their Design and Technology lesson, to prepare seasonal fruit tarts! 🍎 🍐
First, they had to work as a team to cut, slice, chop and grate the apples and pears. Next, the children each had a chunk of puff pastry to roll out flat and cut into their designed shape. To finish off, they decorated their tarts with the pieces of fruit, then drizzled honey and sprinkled some brown sugar to make it extra sweet and delicious!
We hope you enjoy tasting your creations at home tonight, and we wonder if our parents and carers will get the chance to try a taste too!

Today, Year 3 explored a range of historical artefacts from when Eastwick School first opened as a Junior School in the 1950s.
We looked at the original uniform (blazers and hats), photographs from when the swimming pool was built, newspaper articles, and a range of log books from the original Eastwick staff!
Did you know the first Headteacher was called Mr Taylor, and there were only 2 classes when the school first began?
