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
Reception enjoyed a Rainbow Fish workshop this week, exploring the seaside, becoming sea creatures and retelling the story together.
Last Friday saw the official return of Music at Lunchtime, with a special edition to usher in the new year. Lydia O in Year 10 debuted her first album to an enthusiastic audience of Year 10 supporters. She performed 11 songs, accompanying herself on piano, which added to the rawness of her performance (and gave Mr Boxall a welcome break!). Songs such as Rose tinted glasses and Coffin displayed impressive vulnerability, and on the whole the album was personal and emotional. Lydia’s musical theater-like voice and inspiring confidence enhanced the evocative recital.
Huge congratulations to our U12 team for finishing 1st in the Haringey League Netball Finals after a nail-biting final against Alexandra Park School, winning by just one point on golden goal! Congratulations as well to our U14 team for an excellent second-place finish. Fantastic results 🎉
On Saturday Channing students participated in the St Pauls MUN Conference. It was a lively and informative day of debate and discussion. Special mentions to Alex who won an individual award for her contributions to her committee and our Venezuela delegation who received a special mention during the ‘crisis debate’ at the end of the day.
