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.

It’s the Channing Panto Calendar! Oh no, it isn’t! Oh yes, it is!
Some of our teaching staff gave up their time (and their dignity) earlier this year to pose for the Channing Panto Calendar in aid of the Social Impact Fund.
Pupils can buy a calendar for £10 at lunchtime on Tuesday 3, Wednesday 4 or Thursday 5 November. If you’d like a copy, please bring cash or a bank card to school.
All profits will support our bursaries and partnerships, helping to transform lives through education.
We’ve only printed a limited number of calendars, so get yours while you can. When they’re gone, they’re gone!

In our latest staff blog Mrs Bhamra-Burgess, Assistant Head (co-curricular), explores how life beyond the classroom helps girls discover new passions, build friendships and grow in confidence.
With more than 200 clubs and societies and 25 sports on offer, there are countless opportunities to be 10% braver, from speaking in a debate to stepping onto the stage or trying a new sport.
Read the full blog on our website to discover how we help every girl find her thing.
Year 10-13 Hispanists had a fantastic first day on our Madrid Trip last week!
