Anthony Simpson, Principal at Erskine Stewart Melville comments: “These outstanding results reflect the hard work, resilience and ambition of our students, supported every step of the way by the exceptional dedication, professionalism and care of colleagues across the School.
“We are proud to celebrate the achievement of 95 students attaining straight As at Higher, alongside excellent outcomes at National 5 and Advanced Higher, but we are equally proud of every young person who has worked hard to achieve their personal goals. These results are a reflection of the strong culture of learning, support and encouragement that exists throughout our School community.”
As the School prepares to open its doors for the first time as Erskine Stewart Melville later this month, these results provide a fitting celebration of student achievement and a strong foundation for the year ahead.
Simpson continues: “As we prepare to welcome our students to Erskine Stewart Melville for the first time, I can think of no better way to begin this new chapter than by celebrating the success, talent and potential of the young people at the heart of our School community.”
