Celebrating Success: Lily S Wins Young Science Writer Award!

We are thrilled to share the exciting news that one of our students, Lily S, has been named a winner in the prestigious Young Science Writer Award (YSWA), hosted by the Association of British Science Writers (ABSW).

This national competition challenges young people aged 14–16 to craft compelling, accurate and engaging articles on scientific topics they are passionate about. Lily’s entry stood out for its clarity, creativity and excellent communication of a complex scientific idea. The essay title was ‘My brain is trying to starve me: The neuroscience behind Anorexia Nervosa’.

The YSWA is judged by leading science journalists and writers, making Lily’s win a remarkable achievement and a testament to her writing skills and enthusiasm for science. Her article will be published on the ABSW website, helping to inspire other young people to see science not just as a subject, but as a story worth telling.

We are incredibly proud of Lily and hope her success encourages more students to explore the world of science communication.

Congratulations, Lily!
