Extraordinary students are the pride of Erskine Stewart Melville, but in the 23/24 session, we were especially proud of our then S5 student, Lewis Swire, and it’s fantastic to see his many achievements recognised at this year’s ISOTY Awards Ceremony in London, where he picked up the Rising Star of the Year Award.
At just 17, Lewis had already received accolades for his social entrepreneurship, including founding The Curious Times, co-founding the Global Young Entrepreneur Society, and joining the Youth Advisory Board of Childnet International. Lewis has left the school a year early to begin his BA in Modern Ballet at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and we are sure to hear about his work in the future.
This recognition builds on our success from last year when we were named the Independent School of the Year 2023 in the Performing Arts, Music, and Drama category, and we are incredibly proud of Lewis and all the teachers who supported him throughout his school experience!
