Now aged 25, he has big ambitions of building a successful career as an actor. Well done to Harry and we look forward to closely following his progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size\" style=\"color:#c1002b\"><strong>Highlights of Harry&#8217;s Visit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-4 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" data-id=\"14958\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/harry-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/harry-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/harry-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" data-id=\"14959\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/harry-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/harry-3.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/harry-3-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" data-id=\"14960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/harry-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/harry-5.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/harry-5-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" data-id=\"14961\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/harry-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/harry-4.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/harry-4-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Bridgnorth Endowed student, Harry Lowbridge, who has been cast as Coronation Street\u2019s latest villain, came into school on Friday to inspire our students and meet up with Mr Lewis, his drama teacher from almost a decade ago.
