Channing is consistently recognised as one of the best independent schools in North London; an independent school for girls aged 4 to 18, based in Highgate, where every pupil is encouraged to 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
What an incredible achievement! Huge congratulations to Kezia, Channing Class of 2026, on reaching the grand final of the BBC Young Musician competition!
From the quarter-finals to the semi-finals and now the final, Kezia has continued to make us proud since leaving Channing in July. We are absolutely delighted for her and can’t wait to see her take to the stage!
Watch on BBC Two or listen on BBC Radio 3 on Sunday 1 November at 7.30pm, with the grand final broadcast simultaneously on both.
Join us in cheering Kezia on in the final! You can also watch her semi-final performance on BBC iPlayer.
An unforgettable sight for our geographers in Iceland! They were lucky enough to see the Aurora Borealis beautifully captured in this photograph by Scarlett in Year 11.
What could being 10% braver look like? Trying something new, stepping onto the stage or discovering an unexpected passion.
With more than 200 clubs and societies and 25 sports, Channing gives girls the opportunity and encouragement to explore their interests, build confidence and surprise themselves.
