Houseroom EditorialOur take
Houseroom Editorial
Our take
Independent girls school in Haringey for ages 4–11. Selective entry, other ethos.
Best for
- Children aged 4–11.
- Parents who want a single-sex environment for their daughter.
- Families who value a other ethos in school life.
- Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
Watch-outs
- Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
- The other ethos shapes assemblies, holidays and pastoral life. Comfortable for committed families; worth thinking about for those of other or no faith.
- Single-sex (girls). Comfortable for some children, less so for others — worth a visit on a normal teaching day rather than only an open-day showcase.

Excellent academics, fantastic pastoral care and a wonderful way of imbuing girls with self-confidence, Channing makes a strong argument for single-sex education. Our Headmistress and @gsa\_uk President, Mrs Lindsey Hughes, joined Shelagh Fogarty on @LBC yesterday to discuss one of the biggest issues facing schools today: smartphones, screen time, and student wellbeing. Our Headmistress and @gsa\_uk President, Mrs Lindsey Hughes, joined Shelagh Fogarty on @LBC yesterday to discuss one of the biggest issues facing schools today: smartphones, screen time, and student wellbeing. In the interview, she shares how our approach — including Yondr phone pouches and clear boundaries — has transformed break times, boosted social interaction, and encouraged pupils to engage more fully with school life.
