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.

To conclude their Romans topic in History, Year 4 brought in some fantastic home-made projects to summarise their learning! We made museums across our classrooms to display all of the hard work and we enjoyed spending the end of the afternoon looking at what everyone had made!
Take a look at just a few of the creative ways that the children presented their findings!
- Mosaics
- 3D shields, armour and weapons
- A 3D model of Hadrian’s Wall
- Information posters
- Artwork and designs made from tile mosaics
- Top Trump cards with facts
- Colosseum models
We were also lucky enough to taste some Roman bread, made by several of the children at home.
Thank you to all our brilliant parents and carers for supporting this home learning challenge!
The Sponsored Colour Runs take place after half term, so please remember to sponsor your child using the links in Friday’s Newsflash. All money raised goes towards supporting important school projects.
Parents invited to watch and if you would like to help volunteer on either day, please get in touch with the friends!
Since the weather has brightened up, our children have loved being outside at lunchtimes even more, exploring the school grounds in many different ways.
Some pupils enjoy collecting logs and sticks to make dens, while others have enjoyed giant chess or dressing up in the gazebo area!

In Year 1 this half term, the children have been creating their own sculptures. Over the last couple of weeks, they have used their paper-rolling skills to create 3D spider sculptures. The children made these using newspaper as a base, and then used Mod Roc to make their sculptures sturdy. This week, they painted their spiders. Don’t they look wonderful? Well done, Year 1!
Our Ark 3 pupils enjoyed going to the cookery room today, to conduct a food-themed experiment. They made ice cream in a bag and enjoyed tasting it afterwards! Yum!
Year 4 have been studying the work of artist William Morris, who was influenced and inspired by nature and plants. Over the last few weeks, the children have been creating patterns in the style of William Morris using different media such as pencils, pastels and felt tip pens.
This week, the children had to create a collage with a range of different patterned papers, with the design brief of creating a repeating pattern. We are building up to designing a piece of furniture with a unique printed pattern, just like William Morris did!
Our Infant children have also being enjoying our new OPAL provisions - giant Lego building, bubbles, water painting and digging!
We love to be outside for our play! 😎

As part of their KAPOW Art unit, Year 3 have been learning about art through history, exploring how the Ancient Egyptians used to make papyrus paper from localised plants that grew by the River Nile.
The children used strips of brown paper bags and PVA glue to try and create their own version of papyrus paper, by weaving the strips together, just like the Ancient Egyptians did!
