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.

For the Year 9 History Journal, Holly investigated the extent to which the Suez Crisis changed Britain’s global influence after 1956. She explores how President Nasser’s nationalisation of the canal, Britain’s military intervention and pressure from the United States and the United Nations exposed the limits of British power. Holly argues that the crisis accelerated Britain’s existing decline, damaged its international prestige and contributed to decolonisation, while Britain continued to exert influence through NATO and its relationship with the United States.

For the Year 12 History Journal, Darcy investigated how portrayals of the Third Crusade have developed over time. Focusing on the Battle of Hattin and the Siege of Acre, she compares Joseph-François Michaud’s heroic, Christian-centred account with the more critical interpretations of Stephen Runciman and Thomas Asbridge.
