The St. Trinian\u2019s myth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to popular belief by many students, in fact none<\/em> of the St. Trinian films were ever filmed on campus, but rather at the nearby\u00a0Oakley Court in Windsor<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 also a favourite location for the Hammer House of Horror series of films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A French Mistress (1960)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The earliest known outing on the silver screen for the campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1959 the Boulting Brothers<\/a> filmed their comedy\u00a0A French Mistress<\/a>, at Shoreditch Training College. Starring\u00a0Agnes Laurent<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0James Robertson Justice<\/a>, it features many views of the college grounds before the development of the news halls of residence, as well as some interior shots too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
