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.

A very exciting day in Channing’s history! Design and Technology has joined the curriculum this year, and this afternoon our Year 8 pupils took part in Channing’s very first lesson.
They helped christen the new D&T Workshop by designing and creating prototypes for bag hooks for tables.
Our Year 12 and Year 13 students put their teamwork and problem-solving skills into action through a series of team-building challenges. Working in mixed-year groups, they collaborated to find the solutions before enjoying a well-earned bbq lunch together!
Our new Reception girls are enjoying their very first day at Channing!
The class of 2040 were welcomed at the school gate by our Year 6 girls, who guided them to their classrooms. The two year groups then spent time getting to know one another as our youngest pupils settled into their new surroundings.
On Saturday, we held our annual Year 7 Netball and Football Pre-Season Day, and it was fantastic to see over 70 of our Year 7 students come along and get involved!
A special thank you to Aliyah Zaranyika, former England international and Netball Super League player, and Miss Dorey, who plays for Wimbledon FC, for giving up their Saturday to share their experience and coach our girls.
We are really looking forward to an exciting season ahead! 🤩
