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
In our Year 1 and 2 Pom Pom Art Club, the girls have been creating their own Independence Owls—glowing bright, with eyes that sparkle in the night! 🦉✨
Reception & Year 2 took part in some interactive storytelling workshops in Drama last week, delivered by Perform - a Youth Theatre Company. Through drama and dance - they explored the theme of `Midnight in the Toyshop`, developing their confidence, concentration and social skills!
Year 4 enjoyed taking their learning outdoors to find inspiration for their poetry. Exploring the school grounds, they observed how nature changes and grows, gathering ideas ready to create their own poems. A wonderful way to bring writing to life!
Another action-packed week of sport at the Junior School! On Tuesday, some of our Year 3 & 4 pupils proudly represented the school in their first hockey fixture against Alleyn’s. With beautiful weather on our side, they showcased fantastic skills and teamwork with both teams coming away with big smiles and a well-earned win!
Then on Friday, we were delighted to host @cameronvaleschool for a fun multi-sports afternoon. The girls enjoyed meeting new friends, chatting over lunch, spending time on the playground and taking part in some friendly yet competitive games of hockey, football and tag rugby.
A wonderful week of sport, teamwork and new friendships!
This week we hosted the Goodwin and Sharpe House Baking Competition 🍰
It was a real pleasure to see the effort and creativity that went into the girls’ beautiful (and delicious!) bakes. Our House Captains certainly enjoyed the all-important job of tasting them! Next week, it’s over to Waterlow and Spears to see who will be crowned the winners...
A big thank you to everyone who has supported this event so far and helped raise money for the Whittington Hospital Children’s Ward. @whittingtonhealth
