Girls Enjoying Success

2025 - 2026 Highlights: Sports

It has been another exceptional year for Sport at Channing, with growing participation, an expanding curriculum and outstanding success. Students developed their skills during our Year 7 Pre-Season Day, explored professional pathways through Careers in Sport Week and built confidence with support from PEBE. In competition, our athletes excelled at borough, regional and national level, with Poppy R selected for the London Youth Games and Tottenham Hotspur Academy. Our U13A Football Team were crowned ISFA National Champions, while the U13A Netball Team reached the Sisters n Sport National Finals. Congratulations to every student who represented Channing with commitment, resilience and team spirit!

You can read the full @talkeducation and @goodschoolsguide reviews of Channing on our website.

Both reviews capture so much of what we aim to offer at Channing: academic ambition alongside outstanding pastoral care, a vibrant and exciting school experience, and an environment where girls are encouraged to embrace our 10% braver approach – developing the confidence to ask questions, take risks and forge their own paths.

Talk Education describes Channing as “a visionary all-girls school full of extremely confident, capable and engaging young women”, adding that we are “big in size and heart” and praising our “excellent academics, fantastic pastoral care and a wonderful way of imbuing girls with self-confidence.”

The Good Schools Guide similarly celebrates our Fearless Learning ethos, the breadth of opportunities available to our students and the warmth of our community, with one parent describing Channing simply as “a grown-up place with a warm core.”

We are incredibly proud to see the Channing experience reflected so positively by two independent school guides.

But the best way to discover Channing is to experience it for yourself. Join us at one of our upcoming Senior School Open Days to meet our Headmistress, staff and students, explore the school and see Fearless Learning in action.

2025 - 2026 Highlights: Junior School Science

From Early Years to Year 6, Channing’s young scientists explored the natural world through hands-on investigation and observation. Year 3 uncovered the forces behind magnets, while Science Week brought the whole school together for engineering challenges, quizzes and chemistry demonstrations. Reception visited the Science Museum, Year 4 investigated wildlife at Barnet Environment Centre and Year 1 explored animal classification. Summer Term brought further discoveries, from Year 4’s dental health experiments and Year 5’s friction investigations to Year 2’s study of seeds and plant growth. Each experience encouraged collaboration, precision, creativity and a lasting curiosity about science among all our pupils.

We are delighted to celebrate an excellent set of GCSE results at Channing, reflecting the hard work, curiosity and dedication of our pupils.

A fantastic 37% of all results were awarded grade 9, with 64.8% at grades 8–9 and 84.9% at grades 7–9. More than half of the year group achieved a full set of results at grades 7–9, including 7 pupils who received all grade 9s. 5 of these pupils are celebrating an exceptional 10 grade 9 GCSEs, while a further 15 achieved all grades at 8–9.
