Channing is consistently recognised as one of the best independent schools in London; an independent school for girls aged 4 to 18, based in Highgate, North London, 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
Our Rainbow Soc students and senior librarian are reading The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar @dibs_j published by @hachettekids - a moving and joyous #lgbtqia story of two sapphic teen girls becoming both tangled up in a rivalry and in their growing feels for each other. A beautiful story of love, authenticity, and finding the courage to be yourself. Next up: what will @chancellorsschool, @nhehsgdst and @shaftesbury_school #ReadWithPride tomorrow? @ReadWithPrideUK
Rain? What rain? Year 3 absolutely smashed their residential camping trip!
Not even the British weather could dampen their spirits. There were muddy boots, big smiles, legendary dance moves at the silent disco and, of course, some very well-earned pizza.
They made memories, took on new challenges and headed home with plenty of stories — and probably a few very sleepy campers too.
Paper Creations Club is helping to brighten up a gloomy, rainy day with a splash of creativity! 🌧️
We are delighted to welcome Rahim Hirji, the author of SuperSkills: The Seven Human Skills for the Age of AI, founder of The SuperSkills Intelligence Company and Channing Governor, to Channing on Thursday 25 June. At Channing, we foster intelligent and creative users of technology who are ready for what comes next, and so in his talk, Rahim will discuss the seven essential skills necessary to thrive at work in the age of AI, and how to recognise when you are ‘drifting with the algorithm’ rather than designing your own path.
The talk will take place in the Arundel Centre, Channing Senior School, at 6:15 pm on Thursday 25 June. A book signing will be held afterwards where guests will be able to purchase advance copies of Rahim’s book (official publication date 3 July).
Tickets are £20 for adults, free for students, and all profits from ticket sales will go to the Channing Social Impact Fund, supporting bursaries and partnerships: transforming lives through education. If you would like to purchase tickets, please use the following link: https://www.trybooking.com/uk/GKWL
