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.

Ahead of tonight`s Sixth Form Open Evening, our Year 13 are hosting a quiz and pizza party for Year 11!
We started the new season of Music at Lunchtime with Lydia O singing nine songs from her second album whilst accompanying herself on the piano. A feat in itself! Lydia began with ‘Candlelight Saturdays’ – a lovely, reflective song to set the scene for the recital. ‘Consequence’ then provided a more upbeat contrast, followed by two more beautiful and thoughtful numbers – ‘Phantom Mask’ and ‘Who to fail’. ‘The Dreamer’ was a wistful song performed with much feeling. ‘London Streets’ was another thoughtful song with a recognisable descending riff, sung with real confidence. Lydia then moved on to ‘Burn on’ and ‘Oxford Dream’, two great songs showing off Lydia’s creativity in songwriting. The recital closed with ‘Arson’, a ‘fiery’ song that steadily built with an exciting accelerando towards the end! Well done, Lydia – a fabulous achievement!
In our latest staff blog, Mr Felder, our Social Impact Coordinator, recaps the HNCP Summer Camp, which welcomed 39 children from seven local primary schools to Channing Junior School for five days of learning, activity and adventure.
From creative lessons with Brookfield Primary teachers to sports and team challenges with Active Day Camps, the week offered opportunities to build confidence, develop friendships and try something new.
All parents who responded to our survey rated the staff and activities as ‘Excellent’!
Thank you to everyone who helped make the week so special. Read the full blog on our website.

Our Year 7s spent an amazing day at Stubbers on Friday. It was the perfect chance to make new friends and step out of their comfort zones with raft building, axe throwing, laser tag and climbing.
