Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Gemma Arterton's first major film role—she'd only done theatre and a BBC drama. She plays Kelly, the head girl, with full 'future Bond girl' energy already locked in.
The St Trinian's franchise dates back to 1950s cartoons by Ronald Searle, making this the first film adaptation in over 40 years. The original films were significantly darker—this version amps the girl-power heist energy for the noughties.
