Principal’s Welcome
My name is Anthony Simpson and I have the great privilege of serving as Principal at Erskine Stewart Melville, one of the best private schools in the UK. Whether you excel in the classroom, shine on the sports field, enjoy getting stuck into new projects, or are still discovering what drives you, there’s a place for you here.
My aim isn’t just to help you achieve academic success but to ensure you enjoy the journey and uncover your true passions along the way. This is a school where you can truly be yourself and it’s important that you are because individuality is something we celebrate. We nurture creativity, encourage critical thinking, and foster collaboration because we want you to dream big, set ambitious goals, and exceed your own expectations.
The teachers at Erskine Stewart Melville are truly exceptional. They’re passionate about their subjects and want you to be too. They go far beyond the curriculum to ignite your curiosity and inspire you. Outside the classroom, they’ll support you in discovering your unique talents and passions, embracing every challenge and opportunity that comes your way. And here, opportunities are plentiful – with our leading outdoor learning programme, extensive sports and performing arts offerings, nearly 300 clubs, and over 400 trips to choose from, I’m confident you’ll find something that sparks your interest.
If you were walking around the school today, you would notice the strong, supportive relationships between teachers and students. These connections are the cornerstone of our sector-leading wellbeing programme, helping you to thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.
We live by five core values, which you will come to know well. These values will guide you in developing a good heart, making sound decisions, embracing curiosity, and facing life’s challenges with confidence.
We’re here to help you shape your future in your own way. By the time you leave, you’ll be equipped with the tools and mindset to thrive and make a positive impact on the world, whichever path you choose. And most importantly, you’ll have a lot of fun along the way
Of course, the best way to find out about us is to listen to the children themselves, so please come and visit us. I can’t wait to meet you.
