We felt that our Junior School pupils would benefit from being able to refer visibly to a set of defined character traits with accompanying tangible characters, which we could weave through every aspect of their educational experience. Pupils and staff were invited to share their ideas and it was pleasing to see there was lots of overlap and we all had similar thoughts about what makes a Channing girl and what we want a Channing girl to be like. We agreed that the Channing Characters should be inspired by British woodland animals. Thus, the Channing Characters were born, and our fantastically talented alumna, Cocoa Wagner, created this amazing video to introduce them!
