More Information

St Trinian's is an anarchic school for uncontrollable girls who save the school from bankruptcy by stealing the painting 'Girl With A Pearl Earring'. The film starts with meek and timid Annabelle Fritton being admitted to the school. She meets Kelly, head girl, who shows her around the school and introduces the various cliques in the school - Posh Totty, Chavs, Emos, Geeks and First Years. Annabelle has a rough first night in the school when her towel and dressing gown are taken from the shower and she is broadcast on the internet by the other girls while running naked from the shower to the dormitory. She phones her father and demands to be taken away from the school.

Flash Harry pays a visit to the school and makes a deal with the girls for some lab-made vodka.

A few days later the school has a hockey match against Annabelle's old school - their rivals Cheltenham Ladies College. The Cheltenham captain is Verity Thwaites, daughter of the education minister. The girls give a hostile and violent welcome to their visitors and the match ends in a brawl between the two schools. Later, Annabel overhears her Father telling her aunt that he doesn't think Annabelle fits in with the family, which hurts her feelings. Later that day, her aunt makes her feel a part of the family and gets her to release her anger. The other girls at the school give Annabel a make-over and make her feel part of the school. Meanwhile the education minister is inspecting the school and the bank is threatening it with closure.

Kelly hears the talk about closure and tells the rest of the school. They then concoct a plan to save the school by getting to the final of "School Challenge" and stealing the painting 'Girl with a Pearl Earring'. Meanwhile Annabel tries to persuade Flash Harry to act as a gay German art dealer. He initially refuses but Kelly gets him to do the job (as he secretly has feelings for her and does not want to look stupid in front of her). The school team for School Challenge is made up of the three of the Posh Tottys, Chelsea, Peaches and Chloe. They get to the final by cheating.

During the final Kelly, Taylor and Andrea foil the security for the painting that they're after and eventually retrieve it but on the way back the cable that they used to climb over the top of the audience of the final of School Challenge snaps just after Taylor and Andrea get over to the other side. Kelly gets stuck with no way to get to other side again. Mrs Fritton sees that Kelly needs help and goes to save the day, having to knock out education minister Geoffrey Thwaites on the way. Meanwhile Annabel takes care of Verity Thwaites.

The school successfully gets the painting and sells it to Carnaby Fritton who doesn't realise it is not the real one which has been returned under the cover of St Trinians finding it. They receive a £50,000 reward for returning the painting and with the cash from Carnaby Fritton they pay back the money owed to the bank and St Trinian's stays in business.

Trivia

- At the start, the students broadcast live onto YouTube, however, this feature was only installed a month after the film was released.

- The computer used at the start is an Apple MacBook.

- Camilla Fritton's dog, Mr Darcy, is named after a Jane Austen character from Pride and Prejudice (1995 TV serial), as played by Colin Firth in the 1995 adaptation.

- The spelling of Cheltenham is incorrect on the ladies college coach (Chelteham) but is spelt correctly during the schools challenge quiz show.

- The answer to the question (What is the name of the book 'First Impressions' more famously known as?) asked in the quiz show is Pride and Prejudice, which Colin Firth starred in the 1995 adaptation.

- The scene in which Geoffrey emerges from the pond after having been pushed in by a 'posh totty' is almost identical to a scene in the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice.

- When Geoffrey and Miss Fritton meet for the first time, they mention that they knew each other in "Another Country". This was the title of a film in which Rupert Everett and Colin Firth starred in 1984.

- When the girls first see the painting 'Girl With A Pearl Earring' in the National Gallery, they refer to the film of that name in which Colin Firth, who also played a lead in this film, played the painter Vermeer.

- The picture in Miss Fritton's study is a painting of Alastair Sim, as he played the original role in the original films.
