Chatting with Channing
We are excited to share the brilliant LAMDA results that arrived at the end of term. The students worked enthusiastically, imaginatively and collaboratively throughout the year. Their bravery and perseverance has certainly paid off. All 62 candidates passed with honours: 16 were awarded high Merits; and a record breaking 46 achieved the top level Distinction mark; with 6 students earning an impressive 90+ out of 100 marks. So, with 74% of Channing students achieving Distinction level, this puts them in the top 10% of LAMDA entrants around the country.
It is always fascinating to hear the students` experiences through their course evaluations: Comments repeatedly highlighted the students` enjoyment in the freedom of choosing characters and scenes to work on and the pleasure of developing new skills. Excitement that they had learned how: to go outside their comfort zone; to analyse and evaluate in detail; to understand subtext. Also, how glad they are at having improved their ability to express their ideas more confidently through extending their vocal and physical skills. All while having fun and making new friends! They can all proudly celebrate their results, as well as all they learnt on the way.
Exciting news! We`re thrilled to be shortlisted for the @talkeducation Awards in the Community Engagement category!
Huge congratulations to our Social Impact Team - this recognition is a testament to their incredible dedication and hard work in making a real difference in our communities!
Thank you to @muddystilettos for the review of our wonderful Junior School! You can read the full review on their website and come see Channing Junior for yourself at one of our upcoming open days.
The Girls’ Schools Association (@gsauk) welcomes Mrs Lindsey Hughes as its new President.
Mrs Hughes begins her first term with a rallying call for courage, compassion, and bold leadership in girls’ education. She steps into the role at a time of both challenge and opportunity, and set out her vision for the year ahead at the GSA Summer Briefing, this June, underlining the transformative power of all-girls education in developing confident, resilient young women.
Mrs Hughes says: “Our girls need to be brave, and they need to be willing to show leadership in their own spheres, whatever that may be, because the world is not yet equal. The truth is simple and sobering: the world needs fearless young women. It needs their ambition, their energy, their anger at injustice, their hope for a better planet. It needs their curiosity to ask better questions – not just “What is?” but “What could be?”.
As leaders of girls’ schools, we must continue to support one another and lead with the courage we want to see in our girls. ”
Over a dynamic year, she will urge educational leaders to inspire girls to develop an understanding of their own strengths and the ability to celebrate them and to practice self-compassion so that they can become the fearless young women the world needs.
Yesterday, our new Year 12 and our seasoned Year 13 came together to take part in some fun team-building exercises. To get to know each other better, hand-eye coordination and communication were put to the test and the morning ended with a group BBQ!
