In the film, they act as the official School Band, and are made up of a mixture of tribes: Jessica Agombar (rude girl) with the killer heels to match her killer vocals, Jess Bell (emo) rocks up the stage, Daisy Tonge (eco) takes accapella to a new level and Harriet Bamford (geek) uses her super-brainpower for some wicked harmonies.
Their debut single, "Up And Away", was released for digital download on 30th November 2009.

Banned Of St Trinian's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She can′t rock it to my world shaking her peachy B.U.T.
Give that girl a lesson in anarchy
We all know that too much work can lead to a trip to A&E
Tell that girl the best things in life ain't free
′Cause homework's a dirty word
The teachers are just plain B.A.D.
Just look after number one
And don't care about no one but me
There inside your big brown eyes lie angels when they fall
But down the line you realise it hardly hurts at all
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Jump off
And give in to your own punk beat
If that′s what you want
Jump off
Together we can jump off the beat
Yeah, yeah, yeahGet that girl a lifetime away from me
She can′t rock it to my world shaking her peachy B.U.T.
Give that girl a lesson in anarchy
She's either a gal like us or else she′s a T.RA.M.P.
Tell me girl are you with us? Are you willing to swear?
You gotta dance with your sisters or get out of my hair
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Jump off
And give in to your own punk beat
If that's what you want
Jump off
Together we can jump off the beat
Yeah, yeah, yeahWe can take this city together
And doing it with our sisters is better
And we can make our own kind of voodoo
Or we can spend the night in like you do
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Jump off
And give in to your own punk beat
If that′s what you want
Jump off
Together we can jump off the beat
Yeah, yeah, yeah
The song "Jump Off" by Banned of St Trinian's is a rebellion anthem against conformity and the pressure to conform to society's expectations. The lyrics are directed towards a girl who is perceived as conforming to society's expectations and is encouraged to rebel against these pressures by joining the rebellious group of the band. The band believes that society's expectations are oppressive and that people should focus on their own individuality and enjoy life.
The first verse tells the girl to stay away from the singer because she conforms too much and doesn't bring anything original or anarchic into the world. The girl is told that the best things in life are not free and that homework is a dirty word. The message of the verse is that people shouldn't be slaves to society's expectations and should instead focus on their own desires and individuality.
The chorus encourages the girl to jump off and embrace her own punk beat. The band encourages her to rebel with them against the pressures of conformity and to enjoy life to the fullest. The second verse tells the girl that she needs to swear allegiance to the group and dance with her sisters. The message of the verse is that conforming to society will lead to misery, but embracing one's own individuality can lead to happiness.
