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.

Chatting with Channing
During the Easter holidays, Year 12 and 13 Art Historians, along with some A-level Art students, went on a weekend trip to Paris. On Saturday 28th March, we visited the Musée d’Orsay, where we were lucky enough to see key Art History Modernist case studies, including Derrain’s Pont de Charing Cross and Maillol’s Mediterranean, alongside famous works by Degas, Monet and Renoir. We also explored the Madeleine area and saw the striking, classically inspired Madeleine church. On Sunday 29th March, we visited the Louvre, where we saw the Mona Lisa as well as other world renowned works such as the Venus de Milo and History of Art Baroque case studies like Caravaggio’s The Fortune Teller and Puget’s Perseus and Andromeda. In the afternoon, we went to Galeries Lafayette and experienced its incredible Art Nouveau architecture before ending the day at the Palais Garnier, an ornate opera house featuring spectacular decoration and a ceiling painting by Chagall. Overall, it was an amazing trip and it was so special to see celebrated artworks in person. - Amelie, Year 13

The 17th Jazz Channing Evening, held before the Easter break, was a vibrant celebration of live music at the Arundel Centre, which was transformed into a jazz club. Led by Theo Travis and his quartet, the night featured outstanding vocalists and ensembles, ending with an electrifying Jazz Band performance and encore that left the audience buzzing. You can watch the full concert on our website!
Reception enjoyed a trip to the Science Museum as part of their Out of This World topic. The girls enjoyed exploring the space exhibition and had lots of fun in the interactive garden, where they investigated construction, water, light and sound through hands-on play.
Just before the Easter break, we held our first Channing Intergenerational Tea, where Channing students were joined by their grandparents for a really lovely afternoon.
Our catering team put on a fantastic spread, and it was great to see everyone chatting and spending time together.
The event was inspired by our work with Communitea, where we regularly welcome older members of our local community into school to chat to pupils, enjoy tea and cake, and get a bit of help with their digital devices.
Our thanks to @riverstonelondon for sponsoring the event!
