This year’s History Journal explores the theme of Empire through three exceptional student essays. Ariella investigates the military genius of Sultan Süleyman I, illustrating how his strategic innovations enabled the Ottoman Empire’s greatest territorial expansion. Aurora presents a powerful analysis of Nur Jahan’s enduring influence in the Mughal court, shedding light on gender, leadership and historical memory. Yeva examines Peter the Great’s ambitions to elevate Russia into a major European empire, critically balancing his visionary reforms with their human and social costs. Each article reflects deep research, thoughtful argumentation, and a commitment to historical inquiry.
You can read the full journal on our website and printed copies will be available from the History department at Founders` Day!

The Channing Debating Society enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of debating to celebrate our work as part of the Education Plus partnership Debating Club. Year 5 and 6 pupils from St Joseph`s Primary School debated the motion, `This house would ban smartphones for under 16s`. We were delighted to welcome our guest judge, @tulipsiddiq, the MP for Hampstead and Highgate. It was a special and memorable event for everyone involved.
