We know that as our children get older it can be harder to stay well connected to our parent community. By way of connecting us, the Channing Association (CA) is excited to invite our wonderful parent community to take part in an upcoming Channing Community Marketplace! This special event will bring us together to celebrate the amazing talents, businesses, and services within our own community. We’re looking for parents who would like to host a physical stall to sell their handmade goods, products they represent, or services such as wellness therapies, tutoring, crafts, food, and more. A pre-loved clothing stall and more!

It’s a great opportunity to connect, network, and showcase what you do, while supporting the school in a fun, social setting. A small percentage of the proceeds will go to the CA charity initiatives. If you’d like to be involved in the organising committee, or have a product or service that you’d like to promote, we’d love to hear from you!

Please contact Dominique Wenninger at sschanningassociation@gmail.com.

Please find here the Summer Term Extra & Co-curricular Timetable. All students will be able to sign up in SOCS at the start of the Summer Term. We always encourage our students to sign up for at least one lunchtime activity per week.

We are delighted to announce our programme of Residential Trips for the next two academic years. To give you a glimpse of the experiences awaiting our students, we have also included photo galleries from some of our most successful recent adventures.

The MP for Hampstead and Highgate, Tulip Siddiq, is conducting a survey to understand the views of parents and carers in local schools on the topic of access to social media for under-16s. These views will inform Government policy on this important topic and so it is vital that constituents share their views.

The survey takes just a few minutes to complete. If you have any questions, please contact Tulip directly at tulip.siddiq.mp@parliament.uk.

We are delighted to confirm the star-studded line up for North London Laughs Comedy Night at Alexandra Palace Theatre on Thursday 14 May. This is a charity comedy night in aid of the Gastroenterology Department at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Today some of the Eco Reps planted a beautiful plum tree, donated by Mrs Pepper, in the Secret Garden. Plum trees attract ladybirds, hoverflies (important pollinators), lacewings and parasitic wasps, all of which help manage pests naturally.

KS3 Short Story Competition
This term our Year 12 English Ambassadors, Lillia H and Carla K, created and ran a short story competition for Key Stage Three. They were delighted with the range of entries and impressed by just how creative years 7-9 are. They are pleased to announce the winning entry, ‘Whisper’, by Evie S in Year 9.

Whisper
Rain drooled down crooked buildings, turning the sky a bruised purple-grey. Then, through the drizzle, came the whisper, so faint Wren wasn’t sure she’d heard it at all.

She pressed her freckled face against the cold windowpane. Life in the small English town had become a relentless cycle of grey monotony. Then she saw him: a sleek silver tabby, charcoal swirls fading to white at his neat paws. His amber eyes held an almost unnerving intelligence. A golden collar glinted at his throat, engraved with the name Sullivan.

She followed him through winding alleys, heart hammering with fear and exhilaration she hadn’t felt in months. Whenever she fell behind, he’d stop and fix her with those burning amber eyes, patient but expectant. Once, when she twisted her ankle, he pressed his warm flank against her leg until she steadied herself. He didn’t meow. He didn’t need to. At the mill, lightning cracked the sky open and through the grimy window, Wren saw it. A human shape. Crumpled. Still.

By morning, the town had a verdict. Superintendent Davies held a short press gathering on the mill steps: a homeless thief, caught in the machinery. Tragic accident. He folded his notebook shut with a neat snap and walked away.

But whispers crept through town. Mr. Finch at the pub swore he’d heard something that night, not grinding machinery, but something quieter. A soft, mechanical click at eleven. Davies’s patrol passed the mill at five to eleven every night.

Wren mentioned the click to Sullivan that evening. He gave her a long, measured look, then the dry meow, short and flat, as if to say: yes, obviously. Keep up.

She did. Sullivan led her back the following afternoon, stopping at a rusted grate hidden beneath ivy. He pawed at it once, then sat back and stared. Inside: an automated lock. Pull the grate shut from outside and the inner door sealed itself. Someone had waited for the thief to crawl in, then walked calmly away. Sullivan nudged her hand, guiding her eyes downward. Scratched low on the stone was a single deliberate mark — fresh and pale against old grime. Davies had retrieved the mill’s building plans from the archives. He would have known exactly how the lock worked. The scratch was his doing, a nervous habitual thing. He hadn’t even realised.

Wren looked at Sullivan. He watched her with steady amber eyes, and she felt it completely: this odd, unspoken friendship formed in the fog.
“We found it,” she murmured. “Both of us.”

He blinked once, slow and deliberate, then pressed his forehead against her hand. She turned to leave. The wall was empty.

That evening, she found it online. Sullivan. Missing since February 28th. Presumed dead.

She sat with that. For the first time in months, she hadn’t been alone. The whisper she had been chasing was never just the click of a latch. It was the sound of a friendship she hadn’t known she’d made, until the moment she lost it.

Independent Reading: Book Reviews
This week all Year 7 and Year 8 pupils celebrated their independent reading with an assembly that showcased the four best book review presentations devised by pupils in their reading lessons in English this term. We enjoyed presentations on The Everest Files, Watch Your Back, Harrow Lake and Saffiyah’s War and thoroughly enjoyed lively discussion and even a trailer for a film version of ‘Saffiyah’s War’ made by Emily and Helena. Well done to Penelope, Luella, Luombe, Eliza, Esme, Dorothy, Valentina, Emily, Helena, Tate, Alice and Freya for their excellent work.

Last week we celebrated Wellbeing and Neurodiversity week with the theme “Looking After Yourself”, chosen by our students. It has been filled with a range of engaging and informative activities focused on student wellbeing, health, and personal development.

On Tuesday 17 March, PEBE led our school assembly highlighting the importance of wearing a properly fitted sports bra and how to look after your body during physical activity to support comfort and wellbeing. Throughout lunchtime, a sports bra drop-in fitting session was available to all year groups, providing guidance and support in a comfortable environment. In the afternoon, Year 7 students, along with any new joiners, participated in an educational workshop alongside additional sports bra fittings, helping to promote confidence and wellbeing during physical activity.

Thursday 19 March offered an exciting programme of PSHE workshops with visiting experts. Dr Hope Christie, former Britain’s Strong Woman, delivered an inspiring session for Years 10 and 11. She spoke about weightlifting, exercise, body diversity, and mental health. The session was highly interactive, with students enthusiastically taking part in hands-on activities, including lifting weights.

Also on Thursday, Dr Justine Kluk, a dermatologist, led workshops for Years 8 and 9. She provided valuable advice on skincare, age-appropriate products, and answered students’ questions about skin health and makeup, helping to build knowledge and confidence in this area.

To round off the week, students enjoyed a vibrant wellbeing fair, featuring a selection of games alongside fruit cups and smoothies at break time, encouraging healthy choices and a sense of community.

Overall, it was a fantastic week, promoting wellbeing, confidence, and positive lifestyle choices across the school.

On Tuesday 17 March, the Year 12 Art History students took a trip to Kenwood House to look at paintings exploring the theme of identity. We each researched portraits by Roubiliac, Rembrandt, Reynolds and Kauffman in order to present to the group. Our tour focused on various topics from the course such as family group portraits, sculptural busts and self-portraiture. It was a fantastic trip and very informative!

Music at Lunchtime
The final Music at Lunchtime of the term was one for the history books! Channing held its first ever Battle of the Bands competition, organized by the School of Rock leaders Beatrice M, Lottie M, and Lauren W (Y12). Four bands made of students from Years 7,8, and 9 competed in a fierce competition judged by Ms Donington, Mr Kokkinos, Darcy G (Y12) from SPRAYTAN, and Mrs Hughes herself. First up was Euphoria, who played Cleopatra by The Lumineers with a folky, acoustic sound, and then switched it up for a rawer and edgier cover of Timezone by Maneskin. Next up were Spirit, who performed an energetic cover of Zombie by The Cranberries before showing off their vocalists’ incredible skills in Falling by Alicia Keys.

The next band to perform were DCL, who demonstrated impressive cohesion in their set. They played California Dreamin’ by The Mamas and The Papas, followed by Brainstew by Green Day, and navigated technical difficulties with amazing ease. Finally, the Wock Band closed out the competition with their set, characterised by their infectious energy. Their first song was a catchy original called Let You Go, followed by the classic Creep by Radiohead. All four bands put up amazing performances, and a special shout out goes to Bea, Lottie, and Lauren for all their hard work running School of Rock and organizing the competition! We can’t wait to find out what the judges thought! Do listen HERE.

Spring Term Concert 
On Thursday 19 March, our symphony orchestras and soloists, senior strings and large choirs delivered a superb musical extravaganza as part of our Spring Term 2026 concert series. The concert took place in the grand setting of St Joseph’s Church, an ideal venue with its superb acoustics and ample space to welcome our audience and the large number of students that took part.

The symphony orchestra delivered a rousing start to the concert. They performed Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture with real flair and youthful enthusiasm. Next, it was the turn of our two big choirs – Conabor and Cantemus – who joined forces with our chamber orchestra and our vocal soloists – Eve C, Juliet B, Anna G, Teresa G, Beatrice M, Mei-Xing LC, Molly S, Susie D, Isabel M – to perform Schubert’s magnificent Mass in G. This is a work of large proportions and not without its challenges. Our pupils rose to the challenge and delivered it with flair and conviction making a real statement not only in terms of ensemble quality but also in terms of vocal ability; our individual students mentioned above delivered some superb vocal solos and the two choirs were worthy partners of a truly superb musical collaboration.

The Mass was followed by Mrs Dodds finely tuned Senior Strings who gave a mature and impassioned performance of Elgar’s Introduction and Allegro. Elizabeth S. took to the stage next with an impressive rendition of Saint-Saens’ Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso for solo violin accompanied by our symphony orchestra; this is a well-known piece of the violin repertoire that would put any professional soloist through their paces; Elizabeth had the audience spellbound dispatching it with real elan. It was the turn of another one of our vocal soloists next – Maika P – who performed with sincerity and musical integrity the iconic vocal aria O Mio Babbino Caro from Puccini’s opera Gianni Schicchi; this is an aria that is not only vocally demanding but requires the performer to dig deep into their emotional world and Maika did just that.

The following item was quite special as it received its world premiere on the night and it was written specifically by Ms Zanardo (ex-Channing staff and member of the music dept. team) for one of our saxophone soloists – Kezia C – and our symphony orchestra. The title of the suite of two pieces: Light Shines and Light Dances. Kezia and the symphony orchestra worked together in real synergy and delivered a convincing premiere of this characterful suite. Next, Yesterday by the Beatles was the chosen item for the collaborative effort of Cantemus Chorus and Conabor Choir who under the direction of Miss Bacon gave a poised and assured performance of this ever popular song.

Another superb collaboration of the two choirs mentioned above with the symphony orchestra took place next, fluently performing Denver’s up-beat and youthful number Leavine On A Jet Plane. Following that, our saxophone soloist – Kezia C – returned to the stage to give a hypnotic solo performance of Salleras’ Recerca II; at times it felt like two saxophones were playing a duet, which we can only assume is the effect that Kezia wanted to create with this piece, taking full advantage of the reverberating acoustics of the church and Sallera’s expert composition for solo saxophone. The concert came to a close with the symphony orchestra’s rousing performance of Saint-Saens’s Organ symphony. This gargantuan sounding piece, due to the sheer size of orchestra forces that it requires in addition to the church organ, is a true masterpiece of the romantic symphonic repertoire. Our students, with Mr Dean as soloist on the organ, did the piece justice giving a fitting close to a truly memorable concert.

We would like to thank all our backstage crew, team of helpers and visiting music staff that contributed to this fabulous event. Big concerts like the one we witnessed last Thursday are a team effort where a large section of the Channing community come together; without the expert help and guidance from our trusted colleagues, concerts of this magnitude cannot happen. Finally, a huge thank you to all our students – soloists, ensembles and choir members – that took part in the concert and rehearsed tirelessly for it. We are immensely proud of all of you; keep up the good work! Do watch the whole night HERE.

German Fun Club
During the Spring term, the German Fun Club continued to enjoy a wide range of fun and creative activities. The Fun club is a weekly club for the Channing Junior School and their partner school students (Year 5 – 6). We began by revising colours before moving on to learning about animals, combining colouring tasks with naming them in German. Pupils then explored the topic of pets, sharing pictures and speaking about their own ones. Emotions were introduced through smileys and a lively “4 corners” game, helping students recognise and express feelings in German. Building on prior knowledge, we extended numbers from 1–12 to 1–20 and played several rounds of bingo. Over the weeks, pupils also took part in the Oxford German Olympiad, with older students writing a short piece on “Meine Reise zum Mond”, while younger learners designed and labelled their dream vehicles. We concluded the term this Wednesday with a fun little classroom treasure hunt, where the students revised key vocabulary and celebrated their progress with a tasty reward at the end. It has been a joyful and productive term—wir hatten eine schöne Zeit!

Frau Peters, German Language Assistant

On Monday and Tuesday LAMDA students performed in special mini-Showcases. Classes were brought together into double lessons so the 68 students could perform their monologues and duologues to a wider, peer audience.

With 3 lessons left before the public Showcases and Examinations, this medium-stakes sharing of ‘work in progress’ helps students to learn to harness nervous energy to enhance their performance – and build muscle memory in the process. Also, getting feedback from people unfamiliar with the scene helps performers clarify their intentions and develop their interpretations further. There is a kind of magic alchemy that happens when formally saying lines in front of an audience – one hears them anew – and many made exciting discoveries about their characters.

At Channing, the LAMDA teachers support candidates in choosing scenes for themselves, and so the audience saw a wonderful array of challenging repertoire, both comic and tragic with 66 monologues and 34 duologues being presented. They ranged from Ancient Theatre, such as Antigone and Women of Troy by Euripides, to Classic scenes, from the likes of The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Pygmalion and Androcles and the Lion by G B Shaw and A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Shakespeare, to contemporary modern dramas, such as Vicky Angel by Jacqueline Wilson, Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman, Bird by Katherine Chandler, Journey to X by Nancy Harris, Will you be my Nemesis? by Katherine Funkhouser and The Beauty Manifesto by Nell Leyshon – to name but a few! As well as the fun of watching this live theatre, performers learn so much from watching others perform.

Our LAMDA teachers, Ms Penglase and Ms Gordon, were proud and excited to see how much progress these fantastically talented thespians have made since September. It is testament to their sustained commitment to the weekly lessons, rehearsals and homework and their creativity in applying feedback. Bravo!

We look forward to the LAMDA Showcase evenings on Monday 11 and Tuesday 12 May in the Arundel Centre.

Springboard Day
On 19 March, Channing hosted a Springboard Day and Fair, an event designed to give students a comprehensive insight into life after school, which was also attended by several visiting schools. During the morning, we were informed about what university is really like, the benefits of getting a degree, and tips for student life. After this, we were given the valuable opportunity to choose and attend two of the many specialist talks delivered by university representatives. These sessions provided a deeper insight into a wide range of courses, as well as offering guidance on university life and the application process. By selecting talks that matched our individual interests, we were able to engage directly with professionals and potential future pathways, making this series of talks valuable and inspiring.

The second half of the day consisted of the Universities Fair. This was an incredible event in the Sports Hall with a wide variety of universities and apprenticeship companies for us to speak with. Personally, I learnt a substantial amount of logistical and generally intriguing information about Universities that I was not previously considering. In this way, the event has broadened my horizons for the future, making me excited and enthusiastic for what is to come. It was organised to be a clear and accessible event, which my peers and I found most enriching and engaging. I was able to speak with one of the St Aloysius boys, a Channing Partnership School, who attended. He informed me that the event led him to view the university as a realistic and positive experience due to the productive conversations he had with many university representatives. Some students and their parents attended an International Universities information session in the evening, and parents also came to the evening session of the Fair.

All in all, the day was massively eye-opening and engaging, thank you so much to Ms Wilberforce and all the staff involved in the organisation of Springboard Day.

On Tuesday 24 March, our Young Enterprise teams took part in the Central and North London Company of the Year Awards. Following their fantastic success at both the Spitalfields and Brent Cross competitions, we arrived feeling quietly confident, while also knowing that the standard of competition would be incredibly high. Our students rose to the challenge brilliantly and represented the school with professionalism, creativity and determination throughout the day. We are absolutely delighted to share that our Channing teams won four of the six available awards, an outstanding achievement in such a competitive field.

Interlinked won Best Marketing, recognising the team’s clear branding, strong promotion and effective engagement with their target audience.

Seeds&Greetings enjoyed an exceptional evening; winning Best Sustainability, Best Team Journey and the coveted Best Company award. These accolades reflect not only the strength of their product and business model, but also the resilience, collaboration and growth the team has demonstrated throughout their Young Enterprise journey.

As a result of this incredible success, Seeds&Greetings will now progress to the Regional Finals on 29 April. We are enormously proud of all students involved, whose hard work, initiative and teamwork made this such a memorable achievement.

Football

U13 Middlesex Cup Final v Fortismere School
The U13 team, after winning several rounds prior, faced Fortismere School in the County Cup Final at Haringey Borough FC. This was a repeat of the same final last year, playing as U12s, when Fortismere ran out 2-1 winners. The team were therefore looking to make amends this year.

Fortismere started the stronger and took an early 2-0 lead. Eva pulled a goal back from some very good play and Channing began to create the better chances. However, late in the half Fortismere managed to score a further two goals. The second half was a more even affair but unfortunately the Channing girls couldn’t convert their chances. The second half remained goalless until the last few minutes when Fortismere scored a fifth.

The score wasn’t a reflection of the match and credit must go to the team for maintaining the effort to the very end.

U13A & B Prep4Sport Tournament at St Georges Park
Over the weekend of 21-22 March the U13 A and B football teams played in the Prep4Sport Football Tournament at St George’s Park. The format was a 7 match round robin with each team playing each other once. In the Round Robin the A team won 5, drew 1 and lost 1. The B team won 3, drew 1 and lost 3. This meant that the A team finished 3rd and the B team 4th, both qualifying for the Cup semi-finals.
The B team played the round robin leaders St Pierre A in their semi-final. It was a very tight game, with the B team frustrating the opposition attack and creating chances of their own, particularly through Cecilia R. However they did eventually concede one and couldn’t quite score in reply.

The A team played 2nd place St Pierre B whom they had lost to in the round robin. In this match though, the Channing team dominated the game from start to finish running out 2-0 winners.

In the 3rd/4th Place play-off the Channing B team played St Pierre B. Again in a very tight match the score was 0-0 at full time. The B’s did have opportunities for a win but in the final minute of extra-time a deflected shot agonisingly spun past the wrong footed Emmeline W in goal to give the opposition a golden goal win. Anya P was awarded the Channing B team MVP for her tireless running throughout the tournament.

The final for the As was a very tight game with the two best teams battling it out. St Pierre A were a very direct side, kicking long and hoping to catch our defence off guard. However the back line of Issie G, Amaya C and goalkeeper Erin L comfortably kept them out.

Channing were now playing some lovely football passing around the opposition and creating numerous chances. The St Pierre goalkeeper was showing outstanding form keeping the score goalless. In the last couple of minutes there was a Channing break through, a crossed ball fell to Poppy L who was able to squeeze it over the line. Channing were the champions.
Phoebe J was awarded Channing A MVP for her superb wing play.

Well done to all the students who took part. They were a pleasure to take away and all displayed outstanding character, enthusiasm and effort throughout the weekend.

U13 SnS Plate Quarter Final
Quickly following our weekend away at St George’s the U13 team had a quarter-final to play against Sir William Perkins School in Chertsey.

This match proved to be one sided affair with Channing dominating the game from the start. A hatrick from Cecilia R and a brace from Luliya R gave us a 5-1 win and a trip to the National Finals in May. This will involve playing the semi-final and final in one day at Lilleshall National Sports Centre in Shropshire.

Netball

U14A in the SISTERSnSPORT Bowl Competition at Loughborough University
The U14s travelled to Loughborough on Wednesday, fully focused and ready for their national semi-final against Loretto Grammar School Thursday morning.

The semi-final proved a true test of grit and resilience. After going 6–0 down early, the team battled back to within four points by the fourth quarter. In a tense final period, Channing closed the gap to just one point with outstanding team defence. With only 30 seconds left, hopes of forcing extra time were alive, but Loretto held firm to take the win.

Despite the setback, the team showed incredible determination, they were not leaving Loughborough without a medal. In the 3rd/4th place playoff against Trent College, it was all to play for. Channing started strong, leading by five after the first quarter. Trent fought back, levelling the score at 16–16 by the end of the third.

In a powerful final quarter, the girls showed immense pride and composure, dominating 7–1 to secure a 23–17 victory and claim 3rd place in the U14s SISTERSnSPORT Bowl competition, finishing among the top four teams in the country.

A special mention goes to Thomasina, who was named Player of the Match for her exceptional leadership and outstanding performance.

London Pulse vs Nottingham Forest Netball Super League Match
On Sunday 22 March, Ms Nelson, Miss Corbin, and Mrs Smith-Modu took a group of Year 7 students to watch an exciting Netball Super League match between London Pulse and Nottingham Forest Netball.

It was a thrilling and closely contested game that kept everyone on the edge of their seats, eventually going into extra time with London Pulse coming out with the win. The students were able to witness first-hand the high level of skill, teamwork, and intensity required to compete at this level. Both teams demonstrated incredible grit, resilience, and determination, showing not only how to win but how to persevere and keep pushing even when the game becomes challenging.

The atmosphere was fantastic, and it was a brilliant opportunity for the students to experience elite netball in action, helping them to better understand the pace, communication, and tactical awareness needed in the sport.
We hope that this experience has inspired the students to continue developing their own netball skills, grow in confidence, and aspire to reach similar levels in the future.

PEBE Year 7 Educational Workshop
Last Tuesday we had a PEBE workshop, which explained to us why wearing sports bras are so important. Overall it was an interesting experience teaching us why it is so important to wear them and what negative impacts it could have if we don’t, like long term Breast issues. When you do wear sports bras you are more supported which is really important in sport so you don’t get injured. After a discussion about what PEBE was and how it helps girls over England, we had a sports bra fitting so you knew your size, you could optionally try one on, or you could also get one at the end. On the whole I think it was a really good experience that wasn’t embarrassing and made you feel like you were in a supportive environment.

Ione W

I really enjoyed the PEBE sports bra workshop because they taught us how to take care of ourselves in a way that felt comfortable and respectful. The session was presented in a factual manner, and they made sure no one felt uncomfortable, which helped create a positive and supportive learning environment.

Matilda B

March Athlete of the Month

It has been another successful half term for the PE department, with a wide range of sporting opportunities and achievements to celebrate. From the introduction of new sports to strong participation across all year groups, it has been fantastic to see so many students engaged in physical activity.

We have also enjoyed competitive success, with teams reaching finals, semi-finals and quarter-finals, alongside ongoing preparation for the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award from our Year 9 students.

Thank you to the PE staff for their continued dedication and hard work in delivering such a broad and engaging programme.

We now look forward to Sports Day in the summer term, as well as our Channing Cheerleading, Dance and Gymnastics Showcase.

Year 7 Coding Club
