Channing, an independent school based in North London, where girls aged 4 to 18 can 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
Today it was Sixth Form’s turn to dress up for #WorldBookDay and celebrate their love of reading!
6W took to the stage at the Arundel Centre last night to perform Oliver! and what a performance it was! The professionalism, confidence and talent on display truly rivalled the West End. It was an absolute joy to watch – well done, 6W!
As part of our initiative to inspire a love of reading for pleasure and to celebrate World Book Day, our library hosted a Literary Salon during lunch yesterday. Staff members shared extracts from books that are meaningful to them with students and explained why they chose them.
In this video, Mrs Hughes, Mr Meier, Ms Wilkinson, Mr Boardman and Mr Matjilla introduce their chosen books and the reasons behind their selections.
The full videos, including the complete readings of the extracts, will be available on the KS3 and KS4/5 reading websites.
A group of Year 9 and 10 students attended the “Strength in Her Stride” Women in Sport event hosted by Mill Hill School.
The day began with a range of empowering workshops focused on women’s health in sport, encouraging important conversations around wellbeing, participation and performance.
Students then took part in sport-specific masterclasses led by elite coaches and players in netball, cricket, football and hockey.
The girls had an amazing time and gained valuable experiences!
What a fantastic way to begin International Women’s Month! 💪⚽🏐
What a fantastic #WorldBookDay we’ve had in the Junior School!
The day began with an assembly celebrating the joy of reading for pleasure, complete with some fun quizzes. We then enjoyed our annual World Book Day parade, showcasing some brilliant costumes.
To finish the celebrations, the girls took part in a wonderful crafting workshop with author and illustrator Sharon King-Chai.
A truly brilliant day celebrating the magic of books and reading!
