a Music Star

August - Western Mail |
TEENAGE singing star Charlotte Church opened her GCSE results yesterday to discover she had achieved an A* in music.
That result will come as little surprise because the 16-year-old classical vocalist has sung for the Pope, Prime Minister Tony Blair and US President Bill Clinton in recent years.
Despite her gruelling schedule of concerts and recordings she also achieved A* GCSEs in French and history and As in geography, mathematics, English literature and English language.
She thanked her teachers, her private tutors, her parents "and my fellow pupils and friends at Howell's for helping me quickly get back into a routine whenever I come home to Cardiff".
One in three of her classmates at Howell's School notched up straight As.
Twenty-nine of the 83 GCSE pupils got either all As or A*s.

Teenage singer Charlotte
Church has announced she is leaving school to concentrate on
her career after passing her GCSEs.
The 16-year-old international star received confirmation of
her three A* grades, including music, and four A grades on
Thursday.
Music was the exam she was most worried about as none of her
tutors on the road taught that subject
But she plans to return to studying to take A-levels in two
years' time, and then wants to study psychology at university
- possibly in America.
Church, who attends the private Howell's School in Llandaff,
Cardiff, admitted she had been "really nervous"
before getting the results, but was "absolutely delighted
to have passed".
The star, currently filming her debut movie The Family
Business, thanked her teachers and private tutors, as well as
her fellow pupils and friends after getting the grades.
She scored A* grades in music, French and history and A grades
in geography, maths, English language and English literature.
Her geography and English literature marks came despite having
to sit two exams early in the morning while on an American
trip to perform at a concert to commemorate victims of the 11
September terrorist attacks.
Charlotte's mother Maria, 37, was "over the moon"
with the grades.
"Music was the exam she was most worried about as none of
her tutors on the road taught that subject," she said.
Mrs Church, from Coryton, Cardiff, revealed her daughter had
worked very hard over the past six months.
"Charlotte has a huge appetite for learning and has
always wanted to go to university.
"She is thinking about studying for a degree in
psychology, maybe in America, but at the moment we're just
celebrating."
Head teacher Jane Fitz was also delighted by Church's results.
"Charlotte has done very well," she said.
"To achieve the results she did on top of all her other
achievements is miraculous.
"She has worked very hard and we are delighted for
her."
