Teenager Jennifer Robertson is back at lessons after sharing the limelight with some of the top pop artists in the country.
Jenny, 17, a pupil at Skipton Girls' High School, beat off hundreds of other hopefuls to perform at the Voices of Promise concert at the Millennium Done in Greenwich.
She sang her own composition, The Guiding Hand of Tomorrow, on the same stage as chart-topping boy band North-ern Line.
The concert, made possible by Marks & Spencer in conjunction with the New Millennium Experience Company, was to find new young song-writing talent.
Jenny lined up alongside celebrities including TV soap's Hollyoak's Will Mellor, Daphne and Celeste, Lee and H from Steps, and the legendary Beatles manager, Sir George Martin.
The event was hosted by Emma Ledden and Steve Wilson from the BBC's hit show Live and Kicking.
Jenny was joined by 21 other lucky winners who had beaten off the challenge of 2000 other entries from schools throughout the country.
She performed her song, backed vocally by school friends, in front of 3,500 people.
Maggie Semple, director of the New Millennium Experience Company, said Jenny's song reflected the confidence and optimism of the girls at Skipton Girls' High School and the important role they had to play in the new Millennium.
"The concert was a spectacular event, a showcase for the incredible song-writing and performing talent from these schools.
"We wanted the concert to be a fantastic experience for the children, a spectacular event that will be remembered well into this Millennium and a celebration of song-writing in schools.''
Francis Robinson, project manager for M&S, said: "Voices of Promise has been an incredibly successful project and we are proud to have sponsored this unique initiative."
