Channing, an independent school based in North London, where girls aged 4 to 18 can 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.

What makes a good school?
At the @schoolsshow @goodschoolsguide panel, our Headmistress, Mrs Lindsey Hughes, shared what makes Channing special - an ethos rooted in kindness, respect, and truly knowing every girl as an individual.
Last week marked the final round of our House Baking Competition, with Spears and Waterlow showcasing their fantastic cupcakes, cakes and biscuits 🍰 Once again, our Year 6 House Captains were wowed by the creativity (and delicious!) bakes on display. A huge thank you to everyone who took part, and to those who donated to the Whittington Hospital Children`s Ward by buying the cakes!

We were delighted to welcome families to our Open Classroom Event at the Junior School, where parents explored their daughters’ work and celebrated their progress firsthand. The afternoon also featured a lovely Parents’ Tea Party, filled with tea, cake and conversation.
The girls in the Junior School had a fantastic time in their skipping workshops! Coach Mary tailored each session to suit every year group, and it was incredible to see the amazing skills they developed showcased in our whole-school skipping celebration.
As well as celebrating all the prizes, our Spring Mark Reading concluded with a truly special moment, the symbolic and heartfelt handover from our Year 13 Officer team to the new Year 12 Officers for 2026–27.
A huge thank you to our outgoing team for their outstanding leadership and the lasting impact they’ve made on school life. Your contribution has been invaluable.
Congratulations to our new officer team, including our Head Girls Ava and Siana! We can’t wait to see all you achieve!
