Girls Enjoying Success

On Saturday 14 March, our A-level Music students delivered an outstanding solo recital at St Michael’s Church, Highgate, as part of the Saturdays at Six series. The evening showcased a wide range of talent, with students performing on double bass, piano, viola, violin, and voice. Highlights included works by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Gershwin, and more, with each performer demonstrating impressive musicality, confidence, and versatility. From expressive vocal pieces to technically accomplished instrumental performances, the recital celebrated their dedication and passion. We are incredibly proud of all involved and grateful to staff, teachers, and Mr Paul Dean for supporting this memorable event.

The Chamber Music Evening brought together over ten ensembles and a choir for an inspiring night of music at the Arundel Centre. Performances ranged from Baroque masterpieces to folk and modern favourites, including works by Monteverdi, Schubert and Joplin. Each group performed with confidence and flair, highlighting the collaborative spirit at the heart of chamber music. It was a joy to see so many pupils engaged and performing at such a high level. Thank you to our dedicated music staff for their support, and well done to all students for their hard work and commitment in preparing for this memorable event.

The judges called our photo a “powerful visual metaphor” — and it perfectly captures what Channing is all about.

Taken in September on our Reception girls’ very first day, the image shows the journey ahead, with Senior School in the distance representing opportunity, growth and belonging.

From the very start, our youngest pupils experience the “Channing treatment”: warmth, care, and a genuine sense of being known and valued, as our Reception girls are guided by Year 6 girls.

We were also awarded Silver (Highly Commended) for Best Use of Audio for our podcast series ‘Chatting with Channing’.

Year 1 enjoyed a sunny trip to the Old Orchard garden and pond. We loved pond-dipping and hunting for minibeasts to help us learn about animals and their habitats.
