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
Music at Lunchtime last week doubled as the final act of Creative Arts Week and was performed in front of a large and enthusiastic crowd from across the school. First up was the Brunner Show Choir, directed by Mr Kokkinos. They performed two songs: a Congolese traditional song called Banaha, and the classic Dream a Little Dream by F. Andre and W. Schwandt. They delivered big smiles and a joyful performance – very admirable from one of our youngest choirs!
Following this, we were treated to snippets from some of the programmes in this week’s musical theatre exams. Saskia C from Year 13 delivered a mature and fluent rendition of Gimme Gimme from the musical Thoroughly Modern Millie – a fun piece with energetic staging. Finally, Maika P-Y from Year 13, in yet another Music at Lunchtime appearance this term, entertained us with The Wizard and I from everyone’s favourite musical, Wicked. Maika’s performance was confident, and she certainly gave it her all.

What makes humans optimistic about the future - even when things are uncertain?
In the latest episode of Chatting with Channing, psychology students Bella and Emily sit down with leading neuroscientist Professor Tali Sharot to explore how our emotions shape memory, belief, and decision-making.
From the science of optimism to how the brain processes emotional experiences, this episode dives into fascinating psychology research.
This week, a wonderful Year 2 assembly took us on a journey through the history of flight! From the first powered flight by the Wright brothers to inspiring pioneers like Bessie Coleman and Amelia Earhart, ending with the incredible Apollo 11 Moon Landing by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, all shared with confidence, curiosity and enthusiasm by our brilliant Year 2 girls.
Our Junior School girls have proudly represented the school in Hockey, Cross Country and two Netball fixtures last week. Lots more to come over the remainder of the term. Well done, Girls!
