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.

Chatting with Channing
Just before the Easter break, we held our first Channing Intergenerational Tea, where Channing students were joined by their grandparents for a really lovely afternoon.
Our catering team put on a fantastic spread, and it was great to see everyone chatting and spending time together.
The event was inspired by our work with Communitea, where we regularly welcome older members of our local community into school to chat to pupils, enjoy tea and cake, and get a bit of help with their digital devices.
Our thanks to @riverstonelondon for sponsoring the event!
We look forward to welcoming Professor Lewis Dartnell back to Channing tonight for a fascinating lecture
Professor Dartnell (Professor of Life Sciences at the University of Westminster) will be speaking about his Sunday Times Bestseller, Origins: How the Earth Shaped Human History. He will be revealing how Earth`s geology and climate have shaped our history—spanning from human evolution in Africa to the rise of democracy in Greece and modern voting patterns.
Described by The Sunday Times as "A thrilling piece of Big History" that stands comparison with Harari`s Sapiens, this is a talk you won`t want to miss!
Join us for our 2nd Annual Showcase Event, an unforgettable evening of cheer, dance, and gymnastics! Our talented pupils from both the Junior and Senior School will take to the stage to deliver high-energy routines, impressive performances and dazzling displays of skill. Don’t miss this exciting celebration of talent, teamwork and creativity!

At the @schoolsshow, Mrs Lindsey Hughes offers clear, practical guidance for parents choosing a school:
Look at value added, visit during a working school day, observe teaching in action, and speak to pupils - who can best articulate what supports their learning and progress.
