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!

Early Saturday morning, in the bitter cold, Channing Year 10 Silver and @staloysiusc Bronze students came together for a day to refresh their campcraft and navigation skills.

They all discovered that teamwork was the key to success as they planned routes for their practice expedition to the North Downs in April. We are hoping for some milder temperatures but as always will be prepared for anything!

Thank you to all the Sixth formers, Bronze, Silver, Gold Leaders and St Aloysius’ staff for helping the day run so smoothly.
In celebration of our 140th anniversary on January 28th, 2025, we are proud to unveil our new strategic objectives: Channing 2035 – a bold and inspiring vision for the next decade, aimed at fostering fearless learners.
