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
Year 5 took part in some Wicked Wellbeing Workshops in their Drama lessons as part of Children`s Mental Health Week. The workshops focused on using interactive exercises and mood boosting activities to develop well-being and explore key themes, characters and issues within the musical, Wicked.
Our Year 5 pupils were invited to take part in an art workshop with our fantastic Ceramics team at the Senior School. They produced some marvellous clay tiles on the theme `feathers`, linking to their current class reading book `Skellig`. The tiles will now be fired before the girls add glazes to their feathers. They are so excited for their next lesson!
This Week is Careers in Sports Week!
We’re excited to be welcoming inspiring guest speakers who have built incredible careers in the world of sport.
From elite sport and coaching to sports law and health sciences, our students will gain first-hand insight into the wide range of opportunities available within the sports industry!
Our linguists were enlightened and enthralled by their visit to four colleges at Oxford University. They sang the medieval German-Latin version of `In dulci jubilo`, translated an excerpt from Cervantes` Don Quixote, learnt what studying languages at the largest Modern Languages faculty in the UK involves, and about the many about joint degree and career options available to linguists. Sincere thanks to Professor Lähnemann, Dr Farrant, Professor Hazbun and Dr Walters and to all the students they enlisted to contribute to a truly inspiring and informative day.
