Girls Enjoying Success

Year 10-13 students had a fantastic second day on their trip to Madrid during October Half Term! We visited a Spanish School, IES Santamarca, where we learned about the Spanish school system and enjoyed a tour of the school. Students had the chance to practise their speaking skills with Spanish students, and then did a presentation about Channing, sharing our key values and traditions! After lunch, where we had the chance to try a menú del día, we visited Museo Reina Sofia, where we saw art by Picasso, including his masterpiece, Guernica. We ended the day by watching the incredible Spanish production of the Lion King, `El Rey León`, in Madrid`s equivalent to the West End!

Each year, the Channing Association sells festive puddings for collection in early December. All profits from this year’s sale will go to Whittington Health Charity to support patients, staff and healthcare services at the Whittington Hospital.

Pupils from the Junior School, Year 7 and Year 13 took part in this year’s label design competition. Each of the nine puddings on offer will feature a different winning design.

On Friday 16th October, Sixth Form Art Historians enjoyed a private tour of Frieze London in Regent’s Park, receiving a guided survey of the fair`s contemporary highlights. This was followed by a visit to Frieze Masters allowing the group an opportunity to contextualise 20th-century avant-garde artists, like Pablo Picasso and Alice Neel against famed Impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Old Master Jan Brueghel the Elder. The trip allowed us to bridge classroom learning with real-world curation and an insight into today’s global art market.
