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
The U12 team competed in the U13 Girls Schools Association Tournament in Warwick. Despite being a year younger than the other schools, the Channing team finished the group stage with one win three draws and one loss. They progressed to the Plate semi-final but unfortunately lost 2-0 to King Edward VI School, Birmingham. An outstanding effort. Well done.
The U13 drew local rivals Highgate in the first round of the Middlesex Cricket Cup. Having won the toss Channing elected to bat first. An excellent innings by Sophia F scoring 23 runs, aided by Bea W (9) and Sophiya V (9) resulted in a score of 91 runs for 7 wickets.
The Channing team then followed this fabulous batting display with some excellent bowling. Pick of the bowlers Bea W who achieved a hat-trick in one over and finished her two overs with 5 wickets for 0 runs.
Highgate were all out for 44 runs in 10 overs, giving Channing 47 run win.
The organisers of the Fair in the Square are still keen for volunteers to help at their event which is taking place in Highgate Village on Saturday 13 June. If anyone from our community could spare an hour or two to help with the set-up, stewarding, or packing up, please do reach out to Caroline, the volunteer organiser:

Last week, Year 1 went on an exciting trip to the Postal Museum! They enjoyed a Maths Workshop linked to posting parcels, learned about the important job that Postal Workers do and found out how letters were sent a long time ago...including a dark but very fun underground ride on the old Mail Rail!
Year 8 enjoyed an excellent performance at the ISFA Regional 7-a-side Tournament. The team topped their group with two wins and two draws, earning a well-deserved place in the semi-final against Forest School. They produced a strong display, enjoying more possession, but were narrowly beaten 1-0.
