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
In Art, Year 3 pupils have been learning mosaic techniques and have produced artwork inspired by Catalan designer Antoni Gaudí.
A trip for the memory books! Surfing, fossil hunting, farm life, history and plenty of laughter, Year 6 made the most of every moment on the Isle of Wight.
The Junior School enjoyed an exciting first week back after half term.
On Wednesday, Year 3 pupils represented in a Year 4 boys’ football tournament hosted by Southbank. Despite the wet weather, they showed great spirit and strength throughout.
On Friday, Year 6 took part in a competitive pairs cricket tournament hosted by St Mary’s. They played excellent cricket, scoring plenty of boundaries with some equally amazing bowling and fielding. With their outstanding performance, they returned to school as well deserved Plate Winners!
Last week, Year 4 packed their bags for an unforgettable two-day residential to Ufton Court. From Tudor games and traditional dancing to a mock trial and a full costume banquet, the girls were completely immersed in history!
Year 4 showed so much resilience and bravery throughout their first stay away, and they’ve been buzzing with stories ever since.
Our Rainbow Soc students and senior librarian are reading The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar @dibs_j published by @hachettekids - a moving and joyous #lgbtqia story of two sapphic teen girls becoming both tangled up in a rivalry and in their growing feels for each other. A beautiful story of love, authenticity, and finding the courage to be yourself. Next up: what will @chancellorsschool, @nhehsgdst and @shaftesbury_school #ReadWithPride tomorrow? @ReadWithPrideUK
