Bridgnorth Endowed School rolled out the red carpet on Thursday evening for a spectacular awards event at St Mary\u2019s Church in Bridgnorth. The dazzling ceremony brought together distinguished guests, proud parents, alumni, and staff to honour the outstanding achievements of over 100 students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guest speaker Harry Lowbridge, a former student and now a star of ITV\u2019s Coronation Street<\/em>, captivated the audience with reflections on his time at BES, insights into his acting career, and the transformative power of aspiration and perseverance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students were recognised for their exceptional accomplishments across various fields, with departments nominating two students from each year group for either outstanding attainment or exceptional effort in their respective subjects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond academic awards, the evening also celebrated achievements in sport, the arts, community service, and contributions aligned with the school\u2019s five core values of Trust, Aspiration, Kindness, Resilience and Respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A standout moment of the ceremony was the presentation of the prestigious Headteacher\u2019s Awards to Dewi Arch and Amelie Maynard. These former students were acknowledged for excelling in a number of areas during their time at the school and leaving an inspiring legacy for current pupils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The celebration also featured some incredible vocal performances from five talented students, and included a preview of the school’s upcoming production of Matilda<\/em> which is set to open in April 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n
