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!

Year 12 Politics students attended 'The state of the state' conference in London, hearing speakers like Jacob Rees-Mogg, Emily Thornberry, Siân Berry and Daisy Cooper. Topics included UK-US relations, House of Lords reform, minority rights, and refugee advocacy from Holocaust survivor Lord Dubs. The afternoon ended with a Q&A session with Alastair Campbell, former spin doctor to Tony Blair and now the co-host with Rory Stewart of the popular podcast ‘The rest is politics’. Mr Campbell sent a strong message to the audience of the importance of voting in elections and getting involved in politics, no matter at what level or what party.
Today the Eco Reps were making their own sustainable deodorant using coconut oil, essential oils, bicarbonate of soda and arrowroot. Over the last few weeks the Eco Reps have been researching and putting together presentations on make up, shampoo and the use of palm oil and looking at how sustainable and environmentally friendly these products are.
