Start of Term
Part of The Howard Partnership Trust
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.

Ark 3 really enjoyed making pancakes this morning. They worked as a team to mix the ingredients together and especially enjoyed tasting them too!
Spring 1 forest school highlights!
Our Reception classes have enjoyed many activities this term, including making soup on the fire, using tools, imaginative play and creating art using natural resources.
The children continue to develop their independence and resilience in the wintery weather and we look forward to more fun outdoors next half term!
Year 3 really enjoyed going back in time this week, to experience what life was like in the Stone Age!
They practised survival skills in the school woodland area, making bows and arrows and building shelters. The children also created some artwork in the style of cave paintings.
We wonder what the children would prefer... living in modern society with technology and more advanced science... or living amongst nature, peace and potentially some wild threats!
Take a look at some of the lovely lunch choices that are offered daily to our pupils and staff.
As of Monday 23rd February, Innovate will now allow daily ordering by parents! The parent orders cut-off for order and cancellations will be daily at 08:00am on the Kampla app.
We hope this supports our brilliant parent community to make easier choices and orders for lunchtime.
Year 5 performed their production "Go For Gold" this morning, in front of the Year 4 and 6 pupils. We were absolutely blown away by their confidence, talent and the humour of the script!
Well done to all of the children for learning lines, song lyrics and dancing with big smiles on your faces. Your parents and carers will love watching the show at the end of this week! Good luck and break a leg!
As part of their ‘People who Help us’ learning, our reception children were visited by one of our class parents. They learnt lots about the firefighter kit and how firefighters help people every day. 🚨🔥
Thank you to firefighter Garry! We really enjoyed your visit.
On Friday 6th February, Year 1 turned into a Victorian school. The teachers were very strict, and we had to sit at desks all facing the front. Our classrooms looked very different!
We completed lots of different activities such as: writing with chalk on slate, using ink and pens to write letter formations, rag picking, nature walks, drills for P.E, playing with Victorian toys and we even took a quick nap!
We spent a bit of time at the end of the day comparing our lives now to a Victorian child. It was a lot of fun being a Victorian child but we all agreed at the end that we would rather be an Eastwick child in 2026!
Wolves class went on an exciting trip to the Howard of Effingham on Thursday, visiting their school library. As part of the workshop, the children guessed different book characters, designed their own front covers of books, and even got a chance to explore what their library has to offer. The children absolutely loved their visit and conducted themselves brilliantly.
A huge thank you to Mrs Cornish, the Howard's library assistants and all of the parent helpers for supporting this trip.
Foxes class are eagerly awaiting their visit in a fortnight's time, too!
