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.

Once upon a Friday, a group of brave Reception explorers set off on a magical Story Hunt...
Their journey took them from pirate ships in England all the way to a Kenyan mountain peak, before landing on the shores of the Caribbean to gather stories with Anansi.
What a magical day of imagination, travel, and storytelling!
At Channing, we believe in the power of education to transform lives and strengthen communities.
That is why we want to continue to widen access to a Channing education, ensuring as many young people as possible can benefit from the opportunities we offer. We do this in two ways: through bursaries and local partnerships focused on children facing barriers to opportunity.
Watch the video to see the impact of our bursaries and community partnerships. If you would like to learn more, please visit our website or email us at development@channing.co.uk.
It’s been a fantastic few weeks of netball! Our U13 and U14 teams enjoyed a brilliant weekend at the GSA Condover Hall Tournament in Shrewsbury, with our U14’s winning the Plate competition 🏆 and our U13’s finishing third in the Plate group stages.
More success followed in the Sisters n Sport competiton, with our U12’s winning 18–4, our U13’s winning 32–4, and our U15 team securing an impressive 62–14 victory in their first-round matches!
On Friday, all four of our U12 teams were also in action, enjoying friendly fixtures against City of London School for Girls.
A fantastic start to the netball season!
`Representing our school as Team Quest X in the Imperial College Science in Medicine (South London Mental Health and Community Partnership) Competition was an unforgettable experience over the last few months. Tasked with developing an innovative science and technology based idea, we designed an active gaming system that embeds physical exercise directly into gameplay. After making it to the top 10 nationally in the second round, we had to present our concept and face an interview with a panel of specialist judges. Through the process, we learned just how crucial innovation and teamwork are when turning an idea into reality. We were absolutely thrilled to win 1st place, securing a £3,000 prize donation to upgrade our school’s science department. It was an amazing opportunity, and we would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to combine STEM with real creativity!` - Team Quest X
On Tuesday we were delighted to welcome Dr Rachel Graham, Founder and Executive Director of MarAlliance, who spoke about her inspiring career in marine conservation and her work with sharks, fishers and coastal communities in Central America. The first person to complete formal research on whale sharks, Dr Graham shared fascinating insights into marine life and the challenges facing large ocean species, while also reflecting on her experiences as a woman working in the field. Most memorably, she encouraged us to look for our own “aha moment” and to find work so engaging that we lose track of time doing it.
