A Day in the Life of Channing Junior School

At Channing Junior School, we offer an enriching and exciting syllabus beyond the confines of a rigid curriculum. Creativity and innovation are developed from the Early Years and across Key Stages 1 and 2.

A Day in the Life of Channing Senior School

The Senior School is a place of great opportunities, Years 7, 8 and 9 are the years to learn, make mistakes, try new things and discover where your true talents lie.

Character Education

We felt that our Junior School pupils would benefit from being able to refer visibly to a set of defined character traits with accompanying tangible characters, which we could weave through every aspect of their educational experience. Pupils and staff were invited to share their ideas about what makes a Channing girl and what we want a Channing girl to be like. Thus, the Channing Characters were born!

At a recent Year 2 assembly, our pupils brought The Robot and the Bluebird to life in a beautiful display of oracy and drama. Through movement and music, their performance became more than just a story—it was a heartfelt testament to the power of storytelling and the transformative role of oracy in learning.

In our latest staff blog, Miss Hamalis, Head of the Junior School, shares how oracy is not merely a skill, but a force within our curriculum—helping girls grow in confidence, empathy, and communication.
Wednesday and Thursday last week saw 64 students treading the boards in fantastic @lamdadrama Showcase evenings in the Arundel Centre. The girls have all worked so hard and it was wonderful to see their creativity and skill sparkling under the theatre lights. With impressive performances all round the audience got to see each of them shine in their chosen scenes. For some students this was the highlight of the course, while for others they enjoyed the process of developing their skills, 'playing' with their scripts and making friends.
