About

Although we enjoy the benefits of our location in Highgate, we are not what you might expect from a North London girls' school. For Channing, the words 'Girls Enjoying Success' are so much more than a mere strapline; they are the shorthand for the unique educational philosophy that we offer.

From the ages of 4 to 18, we inspire our students in a liberating and contemporary way, without undue pressure: Our examination results bear testament to the academic success of our educational philosophy, coupled with the depth and breadth of university destinations and courses onto which our students are accepted.

Above all, our objective is for girls to enjoy their Channing education, celebrating their own and others' success, by their own definition. Together, these elements combine to provide the perfect education for girls in the 21st Century. Channing is a centre of academic excellence in North London where we ensure that every girl feels empowered, valued and supported.

We provide a stimulating and vibrant educational experience that nurtures and sustains independent thinking, confidence and creativity. We uphold our Unitarian heritage in encouraging girls to develop respect, tolerance and understanding of all faiths as well as individual and social responsibility.
