Helen Storey and Tony Ryan in conversation about their collaboration. If you listen carefully, they describe using pretty much all the Tallis Habits during the process of wondering, imagining, devising, testing and promoting Catalytic Clothing over the years.

We are, of course, still the proud, temporary trustees of the Field of Jeans, part of the CatClo promotional strategy, due to remain with us for a little while longer.

The Field of Jeans was installed today on the mound at the front of the school. A team of dedicated denim horticulturalists carefully planted the 45 pairs of jeans facing both the school and the public beyond the fence. Each pair of jeans has been catalysed with a special nanotechnological chemical so that collectively they help to reduce harmful emissions in the air along Kidbrooke Park Road. Hopefully this will mean that those waiting for the 178 bus will now be able to do so whilst breathing slightly fresher air!

This Friday all staff members will be engaged in some dynamic learning catalysed by the Field of Jeans and prompted by the attendance of Professor Helen Storey, one of the inventors of Catalytic Clothing and the inspiration behind the Field of Jeans, and Dr Erinma Ochu, a life sciences expert and public engagement specialist from the University of Manchester.

This installation and Friday's conference are part of our ongoing commitment to develop exciting learning opportunities for our students informed by our Tallis Habits of Mind.
