Channing is consistently recognised as one of the best independent schools in London; an independent school for girls aged 4 to 18, based in Highgate, North London, 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.






After arriving safely in Cádiz, Group A of the Year 8 Spanish trip had a great first full day on Wednesday! We visited El Palacio de Araníbar, got the ferry from El Puerto de Santa María to Cádiz, visited the food market there, climbed the Torre Tavira for fantastic views of the city, and enjoyed some shopping time, before a tapas dinner back in El Puerto de Santa María!
Exams are officially over for Year 13!
The final exam was sat today and, once it was over, the students received their yearbooks and leavers’ hoodies, as is tradition — although the hoodies may not get much wear today!
Congratulations, Year 13, on all your hard work!
Year 10 GCSE geographers spent their second day of fieldwork today walking a transect from Stratford to Hackney Wick through the Olympic Park to look out how the regeneration project has impacted quality of life, both within and close to the Olympic Park! Well done Year 10 for two days of excellent Geography fieldwork!
Group B had a fantastic first full day on Wednesday on the Year 8 Spanish trip to Cádiz! We had churros con chocolate, visited El Castillo San Marco, had a padel lesson in Spanish, and finished our day off by the sea with pizzas on the beach!
This half term, the Art History and Classics students visited the British Museum to see their collection of Classical sculptures and the new exhibition of Netherlandish drawings. We were personally toured by the curator of the exhibition who gave us an incredibly insightful walk through of the drawings. We also visited the British Museum’s study room, and were shown a part of their archival process and their monumental collection of drawings and prints. - Eliza, Yr 12
