Marmalade and Mash Children’s Clothing Sale

I previously owned a children’s clothing brand called Marmalade & Mash, which has now ceased trading, and I am holding a one-day clearance sale on Wednesday 4th June from 12pm–7pm at my home near Hodnet (postcode SY4 4LY – full address provided on confirmation).

There is a large amount of beautiful, high-quality children’s clothing available at heavily reduced prices, covering ages 2–12 years, including everyday wear, occasion outfits and gifts. Parents will also be welcomed with a glass of fizz on arrival to make it a lovely shopping experience.

To make this beneficial for the school community too, I would be very happy to donate 20% of sales made by Hodnet School families directly to the PTA. Parents would simply mention they are from Hodnet School when attending.

I feel it could be a really lovely opportunity for parents to purchase quality children’s clothing at very affordable prices while also raising funds for the school at the same time.

Please see the attached flyer for your reference.

Thank you so much.

Warm regards,

Naomi Greenway

The Big Future Survey

The year 6 children have just completed this and it would be great if the other year groups could support this survey.

First of all, congratulations to your Year 6 pupils on completing their SATs, and thank you to all your staff for everything you’ve done to support children through the assessment period. I know how much work and care goes into making the experience positive for pupils.

As Children’s Commissioner, I’m writing to ask for your support in helping children at your school take part in my new survey, The Big Future.

Your pupils can take part here: http://www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/thebigfuture.

As many of your Year 6 pupils will have recently finished their SATs, this could be a great opportunity for them to reflect on their time at primary school and share their hopes and ideas for the future in their own words.

I want to hear from children aged 0–18 from every background, in every part of the country, and your support will help make that possible. I’m asking children about the things they enjoy, the challenges they face, the changes they want to see in their communities, and what they think a good childhood should look like today.

I would be hugely grateful if you could share the survey with pupils, parents and carers across your school community. Schools with particularly high participation rates will receive formal recognition for helping amplify children’s voices, along with a summary of their pupils’ responses, and an invite to my final Festival of Childhood.

To support you, I’ve created a pack of resources including an introductory video, lesson materials and FAQs, all available on my website.

I’ll publish the findings next year, and they will help shape the conversations and decisions being made about children’s lives and futures at the highest levels.

Thank you very much for your support.
