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.

On the last day of the trip, Year 8 enjoyed a visit to a Snail Farm where they demonstrated being 10% braver getting to know the creatures up close! They then took part in a delicious dégustation.
We’re looking forward to A Morning of Dance tomorrow!
Pupils will take part in a musical theatre dance workshop with West End performer Emma Jones, followed by a contemporary dance workshop with Sarah Poekert, Artistic Director and Founder of Thrive Dance. Each session will also include a Q&A exploring dance and the wider industry.
Huge congratulations to our U11 Girls’ Football Team on finishing 3rd in the country!
After progressing confidently through the group stages and reaching the National Semi-Finals, the girls showed incredible skill, determination and teamwork throughout the day. Despite dominating possession and creating plenty of chances, their semi-final ended in a heartbreaking penalty shootout.
After arriving safely in Cádiz, Group A of the Year 8 Spanish trip had a great first full day on Wednesday! We visited El Palacio de Araníbar, got the ferry from El Puerto de Santa María to Cádiz, visited the food market there, climbed the Torre Tavira for fantastic views of the city, and enjoyed some shopping time, before a tapas dinner back in El Puerto de Santa María!
