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!

Chatting with Channing lets the listener find out more about our wonderful school by hearing from people throughout the school community.

Congratulations to Olivia W in Year 8 who represented Channing at the Public Schools Fencing Championships this week. After a very long day, Olivia took the home silver medal in the Mount Haes Girls Foil (Years 7, 8, and 9) category from a field of 90 girls. Well done, Olivia!
In the last fortnight, three pupils in Year 13 have presented the projects they have been working on as part of the Extended Project Qualification. The projects involved students coming up with a topic and title of their choice and then writing a 5,000-word essay on it. They took part in a course of lessons on independent research and project management skills and were supervised by Ms Ramsden, the EPQ Coordinator. The presentation allowed them to share their research with other students and staff and answer questions on it. Congratulations to all three students for completing this demanding and academically enriching qualification.

Project titles:

Cressida: To what extent should UK Intellectual Property Law restrict the recent development of Artificial Intelligence?

Matilda: To what extent did US anti narcotic assistance have a positive effect in Bolivia, during the War on Drugs from 1970-present day?

Ella: Is it possible to tailor architectural design for individuals with neuro-developmental disorders; Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in a world struggling environmentally?
