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!

It was fantastic to welcome so many visitors to our Open Evening last night! At Channing, our vision is simple yet profound: “Girls Enjoying Success.” This isn’t just a motto; it’s the very fabric of our educational philosophy. We cultivate an atmosphere where every girl feels empowered, valued and supported to discover her unique talents and achieve her personal best. Our ethos of Fearless Learning encourages girls to step out of their comfort zones, embrace new challenges and learn from every experience. As the Good Schools Guide notes, we inspire girls to be “10 percent braver,” a valuable life lesson that extends far beyond the classroom.
