A Day in the Life of Channing Junior School

At Channing Junior School, we offer an enriching and exciting syllabus beyond the confines of a rigid curriculum. Creativity and innovation are developed from the Early Years and across Key Stages 1 and 2.

A Day in the Life of Channing Senior School

The Senior School is a place of great opportunities, Years 7, 8 and 9 are the years to learn, make mistakes, try new things and discover where your true talents lie.

Character Education

We felt that our Junior School pupils would benefit from being able to refer visibly to a set of defined character traits with accompanying tangible characters, which we could weave through every aspect of their educational experience. Pupils and staff were invited to share their ideas about what makes a Channing girl and what we want a Channing girl to be like. Thus, the Channing Characters were born!

Last Thursday, we were thrilled to welcome Dr. Russell Arnott for our annual Channing Christmas STEM Lecture. From tiny plankton to the mighty blue whale, Dr. Arnott revealed the amazing “superpowers” of sea creatures and spent the afternoon inspiring students across the school. Sixth Form explored STEM pathways, Years 4–6 discovered the wonders of whales (and tested their vocal power!), and Year 11 compared ocean life to space. The evening lecture, followed by mince pies and mulled wine, left everyone with a deeper appreciation of our mysterious oceans and the need to protect them.
