🎨 THE COLOUR RUN IS BACK! 🎨

The Friends of Silloth Primary School are delighted to announce that our Colour
Run will take place on Friday 22nd May
during Sports Day.

The Colour Run will begin once the sports
day races have finished, just as it did last
year, and promises to be another fun-filled
event for all involved.

Children will be bringing home a sponsor
form, although please note that
sponsorship is optional and children do
not need a sponsor in order to take part.

A waiver form has been sent via
ParentMail and must be completed before
the event.

If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to get in touch.

A huge thank you to the Friends of Silloth Primary School, who have organised and
will be running this event.

We can’t wait to see everyone getting
colourful!

This is a great way to build confidence, strengthen relationships and feel more supported as a parent or carer.

Online grooming is a serious and growing threat, with offenders using a range of tactics to build trust with children and young people before exploiting that relationship.

This can happen across social media, gaming platforms, messaging apps and group chats, often through fake identities, flattery, gifts or pressure.

Our latest guide highlights key risks, including:
• Strangers using fake identities
• Exploitation through gifts and flattery
• Group chats creating hidden pathways
• Gaming platforms becoming grooming gateways
• Sextortion, criminal grooming and radicalisation

The guide also offers practical advice for parents and educators on recognising warning signs, understanding the platforms children use and creating open, regular conversations.
