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.
βFearlessβ teaching and learning, encouraging girls to step out of their comfort zone and be β10 per cent braverβ, 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.

Yesterdayβs Senior School Sports Day was fantastic!
A huge thank you to our wonderful PE department for organising such a brilliant event, and to all the staff who helped make the day such a success.
We had a wonderful time at the Junior Schoolβs Key Stage 2 Sports Day on Friday. Thank you to our brilliant PE team for organising such a fantastic day. We are already looking forward to our Reception and Key Stage 1 Sports Day on Friday 26 June 2026!
Today is Moving Up Day at the Junior School!
We are delighted to welcome our new Reception girls as they meet their teachers, explore their classrooms and begin to feel at home in our school community.
Our current pupils are also spending time with the teachers they will have next year, making this an exciting day across Channing.
A wonderful celebration of our warm, welcoming and inclusive community!
Which House had the best chant at our Senior School Sports Day? π€ π΄π΅π‘π’
We had a fantastic time at @thefairinthesquare!
Our @youngenterpriseuk team, in partnership with St Aloysius School, @seedsandgreetings, sold their products and showcased their fantastic sustainable range to the Mayor of Camden, Patricia Leman, and our local MP, Tulip Siddiq.
Meanwhile, our Year 12 band, Spraytan, rocked the Pond Square stage, and the Junior School Folk Band impressed audiences on the Jacksons Lane stage!
