Channing is consistently recognised as one of the best independent schools in London; an independent school for girls aged 4 to 18, based in Highgate, North London, 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
Our annual Channing Reunion a couple weeks ago brought together alumnae and former staff from across generations—and from across the world.
Guests explored familiar corridors, revisited old classrooms, shared school-day stories and celebrated the Channing friendships that stand the test of time. The conversations were still going strong outside the school gates long after the official event had ended!
Thank you to everyone who made the day so memorable.
Our Year 2 pupils put on a fantastic performance of The Jungle Book yesterday, bringing the story to life with confidence, energy and plenty of enthusiasm. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and teamwork, which shone through in every scene. Well done, Year 2!
A really successful inaugural Women in Economics event at Channing, in partnership with the Royal Economic Society and @discoverecon. We were delighted to welcome students from City of London Academy Highgate Hill and Parliament Hill, alongside Channing Y12 and Y10 students, for an inspiring panel of women working across economics, policy, business, and academia. The event included a thought-provoking Q&A and networking session, giving students the opportunity to hear directly from role models and explore the wide range of pathways into economics.
Yesterday, we held our first ever House Summer Smoothie Social! Girls caught up with their House buddies, enjoyed delicious smoothies designed by our Year 6 House Captains, and enjoyed a little dance in the shade. The event was filled with immense good spirits and a beautiful display of House camaraderie. Thank you to everyone who made it such a memorable morning!
