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.

Team Sakai Clear, our Year 10 @teentechevent team, are ready for the National Finals. On reaching the finals, the judges noted: “This project is a well-researched and thoughtful exploration of a complex global issue, demonstrating strong scientific curiosity and disciplined decision-making.” We are incredibly proud of their hard work and wish them the best of luck in the final.
Record-breaking LAMDA results! All 67 students achieved Pass with Honours, with 56 Distinctions (84%), eight scores of 90+ and one incredible perfect 100/100. An outstanding 91% also earned Distinction-level theory marks. These results celebrate our students’ talent, hard work, resilience and brilliant teamwork. We couldn’t be prouder- huge congratulations to everyone!
Some fantastic batik pieces created by our talented Arts & Crafts Club!
Our annual Channing Reunion a couple weeks ago brought together alumnae and former staff from across generations—and from across the world.
Guests explored familiar corridors, revisited old classrooms, shared school-day stories and celebrated the Channing friendships that stand the test of time. The conversations were still going strong outside the school gates long after the official event had ended!
Thank you to everyone who made the day so memorable.
Our Year 2 pupils put on a fantastic performance of The Jungle Book yesterday, bringing the story to life with confidence, energy and plenty of enthusiasm. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and teamwork, which shone through in every scene. Well done, Year 2!
