St Trinians proudly continues to represent the unacceptable face of British education. When the new Minister of Education announces he will personally sort the place out he doesn't realise either the enormity of the task or that the headmistress is an old flame. The school is anyway threatened with closure by their bank; with the staff clearly a waste of space the girls realise the responsibility to save the day falls on them.

Movie Trivia

• Camilla Fritton's dog, Mr Darcy, is named after a Jane Austen character from "Pride and Prejudice" (1995), as played by Colin Firth in the 1990's adaptation

• The picture in Miss Fritton's study is a painting of Alastair Sim, as he played the original role in the original films. The bust that is destroyed by Annabelle's hockey blow also has the features of Sim.

• There is many references to "Pride and Prejudice" (1995). For example: Fritton's dog is Mr D'Arcy, one of the girls mentions Colin Firth, Colin Firth dripping in water after falling into the unused fountain and Stephen Fry asking the question "Which book was originally titled "First Impressions" (A: Pride and Prejudice).

• The animated sequence during the heist plan are a stylistic nod to the original St. Trinian's cartoons drawn by Ronald Searle that inspired the movies.

• The uniforms that Posh Totty (when they are at the Schools Challenge competition) wear are based on the original St Trinians uniforms from the original movies. Except the school's emblem is smaller.

• When the Chavs make over Annabelle, her hairstyle is based on UK rapper Lady Sovereign's style.

• The movie was inspired by the original drawings of the girls of St. Trinians by Ronald Searle.

• Many actors in the film are connected in some way to Pride and Prejudice: Colin Firth played Mr. Darcy in "Pride and Prejudice" (1995), Anna Chancellor plays the part of Miss Bingley in the same adaptation. Talulah Riley is Mary Bennet in Pride & Prejudice (2005) and Gemma Arterton is Elizabeth Bennet in the show "Lost in Austen" (2008).
