Just checked. Partially

If you (or your partner) earn more than £60,000 a year, you will still get the full amount of Child Benefit, but you will have to pay some of it back. This is known as the 'high income Child Benefit tax charge'. The charge is tapered, so the more you earn over £60,000, the more you need to pay back.
