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.

Our Year 7s spent an amazing day at Stubbers on Friday. It was the perfect chance to make new friends and step out of their comfort zones with raft building, axe throwing, laser tag and climbing.
We are delighted to welcome Rahim Hirji, the author of SuperSkills: The Seven Human Skills for the Age of AI, founder of The SuperSkills Intelligence Company and Channing Governor, to Channing on the rescheduled date of 7 October. At Channing, we foster intelligent and creative users of technology who are ready for what comes next. In his talk, Rahim will discuss the seven essential skills necessary to thrive at work in the age of AI and how to recognise when you are ‘drifting with the algorithm’ rather than designing your own path.
The talk will take place in the Arundel Centre, Channing Senior School, at 6.30pm on Wednesday 7 October. A book signing will be held afterwards, during which guests will be able to purchase copies of Rahim’s book.
Tickets are £20 for adults and free for students. All profits from ticket sales will go to the Channing Social Impact Fund, supporting bursaries and partnerships: transforming lives through education. If you would like to purchase tickets, please use the following link:
