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!

Research consistently shows that social reading experiences play an important role in developing a lifelong love of reading. With this in mind, our Year 10 students recently launched a 1:1 reading programme with Key Stage 2 pupils from Whitehall Park, one of our partner schools.
The sessions provide a valuable opportunity for students to come together and talk about books. Conversations ranged from favourite characters to big ideas, as they explored stories full of adventure, mystery and imagination. It has been a thoughtful and engaging way to connect through reading across age groups.
On Wednesday, 14th May, the U13s won the ISFA Essex Region 7-a-side tournament. The team remained undefeated throughout the group and knockout stages, conceding only one goal. The final against Belmont went to penalties, which Channing won comfortably to secure the title. This victory now qualifies them for the national finals, to be held in June at St George's Park.
At Channing, we uphold our Unitarian heritage by encouraging the girls to be kind and to develop respect for all faiths and cultures in an inclusive environment, as well as a sense of individual and social responsibility. This is enshrined in the Channing Promise, which all staff and students abide by at our School. In the Junior School we focus on developing the eight Channing Characters—created by the girls and the staff—to give pupils the confidence to navigate life effectively and happily. These values are embedded throughout the educational experience. Find out more about our ethos and Character Education at one of our Junior School Open Days.
