Song

"Theme To St. Trinian's" is a song recorded by British pop girl group Girls Aloud for the album St. Trinian's: The Soundtrack, and subsequently released as single on 10 December 2007. Written by the film's score composer Charlie Mole and Ali Thompson, the song features production from long-time collaborators Xenomania. A music video was made to promote the track.

Release

It was revealed in April 2007 that the band would make a cameo appearance in the film as the St. Trinian's School Band, when they were photographed in school uniforms on the movie's set.[1] It was later announced that aside from appearing in the film, the group would be recording the main theme for the soundtrack.
