Channing is consistently recognised as one of the best independent schools in North London; an independent school for girls aged 4 to 18, based in Highgate, where every pupil is encouraged to discover their interests, develop their talents, and build lasting friendships. Our inspiring environment fosters academic achievement and personal growth.
The school actively prepares pupils for the future.
A visionary all-girls school full of extremely confident, capable and engaging young women.
‘Fearless’ teaching and learning, encouraging girls to step out of their comfort zone and be ‘10 per cent braver’, is reaping academic rewards. It is a useful life lesson too, but not at the expense of school being fun.
Excellent academics, fantastic pastoral care and a wonderful way of imbuing girls with self-confidence, Channing makes a strong argument for single-sex education.
Girls throw themselves into all aspects of school life, and teacher commitment goes way beyond the classroom.

Chatting with Channing
It`s been a busy but fantastic start to the new half-term, with plenty of sporting action for our Junior School pupils!
Our Footballers took on Highgate, securing a big win and a hard-fought draw. Meanwhile, our Netballers were in action on Tuesday against St Christopher`s.
Y10-13 Hispanists had an amazing last couple of days of their Madrid trip during October half term! They saw some incredible art in Museo del Prado, including Velázquez’s masterpiece ‘Las Meninas’. Students did presentations at different landmarks in Madrid, including the Congreso de los Diputados, and toured the magnificent Royal Palace! They also enjoyed shopping time at Puerta del Sol and El Rastro market before a final lunch in El Mercado de San Miguel! It was a fantastic trip!
Huge congratulations to Channing alumna Kezia, Class of 2026, on reaching the grand final of BBC Young Musician 2026, broadcast on Sunday!
What a wonderful achievement and a celebration of her talent and dedication. We’re so proud of you, Kezia, and following your journey through the competition has been an inspiration to our current pupils!
