The line-up was fluid at this stage, consisting of 14-year-old Paul Weller on bass and lead vocals together with various friends at the school.

The band was very much inspired by Mod artists, such as The Who, and wore suits on stage as part of this aesthetic.

[citation needed] The Bishop David Brown School uniform consists of the colours black, cream and red.

Students wear an all-black uniform including a black blazer with the school crest on it.

[citation needed] The crest includes a red-lined, black and cream chequered shield with images of a book, a Bishop's hat (to commemorate who the school is named after) and two red stars (pictured at the top).

The school holds an annual International Evening to celebrate different cultures and countries of the world.
