Welcome to the Junior School
We are delighted to welcome you to what we very much hope will be the beginning of your daughter’s educational journey at Channing. For the majority of girls who join us at 4, this marks the start of a thriving journey that takes them all the way to the Sixth Form.
Our vision, Girls Enjoying Success, guides everything we do. From ages 4 to 18, we believe in nurturing girls who flourish as individuals.
Channing is an academic yet holistic school, where we seek girls who are both interested and interesting. Respect and kindness are values we hold dear, and we are proud to foster these qualities in our pupils.
We offer a broad and balanced educational experience in a supportive environment, helping each girl to discover and develop her unique talents and interests while achieving her personal goals.
The main entry point for our Junior School is at age 4, through an entrance selection process designed specifically with young children in mind. It’s engaging, enjoyable and allows the girls to shine. Channing is a true ‘through’ school, with most girls automatically transitioning from Year 6 to Year 7 in the Senior School. This seamless progression means they can fully enjoy their time in the Junior School, exploring a wide range of interests without the added pressure of 11+ exams.
At Channing, we are proud of our strong sense of community. Our girls, staff and I look forward to meeting you and showing you around our wonderful school.
Choosing the right school for your daughter is a significant decision, and we believe visiting us is an essential step in this process. We warmly invite you to book onto one of our open events at Channing Junior School. You can be assured of a very warm welcome from all of us!
