APPLY NOWGirls Enjoying Success
Channing, an independent school based in North London, where girls aged 4 to 18 can 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.

In our latest staff blog, Mr Grossman, Director of Digital Learning and Technology at Channing, explores how technology and AI can enhance teaching without replacing the human relationships at the heart of education. Discover how our curriculum-led approach helps pupils understand and use AI responsibly. Visit our website to read the blog.
Ms Yun, Mr Grossman, Mr Daurat, Mr Hill, Miss Gibbins and Ms Goodall are taking part in the @dofeuk Do It 4 Youth Step Challenge
Together they’re aiming to walk 500 miles and raise at least £1,000 during March — and they’re already halfway to their fundraising goal! 👏
They’re raising vital funds for the DofE charity to help more young people facing financial barriers access the life-changing Awards programme and transform their lives.

Music at Lunchtime last week doubled as the final act of Creative Arts Week and was performed in front of a large and enthusiastic crowd from across the school. First up was the Brunner Show Choir, directed by Mr Kokkinos. They performed two songs: a Congolese traditional song called Banaha, and the classic Dream a Little Dream by F. Andre and W. Schwandt. They delivered big smiles and a joyful performance – very admirable from one of our youngest choirs!
Following this, we were treated to snippets from some of the programmes in this week’s musical theatre exams. Saskia C from Year 13 delivered a mature and fluent rendition of Gimme Gimme from the musical Thoroughly Modern Millie – a fun piece with energetic staging. Finally, Maika P-Y from Year 13, in yet another Music at Lunchtime appearance this term, entertained us with The Wizard and I from everyone’s favourite musical, Wicked. Maika’s performance was confident, and she certainly gave it her all.
You can listen back to the concert on our soundcloud!
