Channing’s Character Education Programme is a unique initiative exclusive to our Junior School. This programme focuses on teaching children essential values and behaviors that contribute to a fulfilling and meaningful life. Through engaging lessons, activities, and thoughtful conversations, pupils learn to embody these important principles.

The videos below introduce the Characters and feature our Junior School staff bringing the Channing Characters’ stories to life. These videos are great to share with your daughter. To explore the programme in greater detail, visit our Character Education page.

We are delighted to have our very own Forest School at Channing thanks to our wonderful green setting. Each week, girls in Reception (from the second half of the Autumn Term), Years 1 – 4 have Forest School sessions in the natural wooded area at the bottom of the school grounds. This area is well-sheltered with tree canopies and is inhabited by a variety of flora and fauna! Find out more by listening to the podcast below with our Forest School Leaders and visit our Forest School page.

Listen to our interview with Miss Hamalis from our podcast, Chatting with Channing.

We also get to hear from some of the girls at Channing themselves: what they love about the school and some of the questions they have for Miss Hamalis too.
