Channing School Magazine 2025–26

Our 2025–26 school magazine is here! We are delighted to share a celebration of life at Channing, bringing together the achievements, experiences and moments that made the past academic year so memorable.

From adventures at Channing Junior School to the ambitions and accomplishments of our Sixth Form students, this edition captures the breadth of opportunities across our school. Relive the excitement of our sell-out production of Hadestown, explore artwork and discover highlights from a busy musical calendar, including our music tour to Croatia. Alongside performances and exhibitions, subject reports reveal pupils asking thoughtful questions, developing ideas and taking their learning beyond the classroom.

There is plenty to celebrate on the sports field, too, with stories of teamwork, determination and sporting success. Elsewhere, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expeditions, educational visits and careers activities show how pupils and students build confidence, independence and resilience through new experiences.

At Channing Junior School, discover the joy of Forest School, imaginative classroom projects and opportunities for pupils to lead and support one another. Our Channing Characters feature in a year shaped by curiosity, kindness and the courage to try.

Partnership and social impact are equally central to the story. Read about Sixth Form volunteers supporting local primary pupils through mentoring, breakfast and reading clubs, and the shared opportunities created through the Education Plus Alliance. Our Young Enterprise teams also demonstrate the power of collaboration, with students from Channing and St Aloysius’ College taking their ideas from initial concepts to competition, including a place at the UK Finals for Seeds&Greetings.

Across every section, the magazine reflects our Fearless Learning approach: embracing challenges, exploring unfamiliar territory and discovering what is possible with encouragement and perseverance.

Thank you to all the pupils and staff whose contributions have brought this edition to life, in particular Mr Felder who edited the whole magazine!
