Channing is consistently recognised as one of the best independent schools in North London; an independent school for girls aged 4 to 18, based in Highgate, 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
Junior School girls have had so much fun making Perseverance Squirrels in Pom Pom Art club!
Year 9 went on a Geography trip to the Natural History Museum and took part in workshops exploring Climate Change. In the Lego, Mission to Mars session, our students built, coded and tested their rovers on a mock landscape of Mars. This practical experience let them explore the planet’s geology, revealing how a once wet planet suffered catastrophic climate change.
Power. Success. Wealth. Excess.
What remains when the glamour fades and the music stops? Our Senior School Play takes Carol Ann Duffy’s Everyman to the dance floors of late-1980s Britain. Every has spent her life chasing success. When Death comes calling, she must revisit the choices that brought her here.
Inspired by the Hacienda nightclub, our student ensemble uses choreography, music and physical theatre to turn the stage into nightclubs, department stores and scenes from Every’s past. Join us for a funny, unsettling and moving evening and support our cast.
