For Teachers · Computing Leads · Safeguarding Leads
Gamified Key Stage 2 e-safety quests designed for the UK & GCC computing curriculum. Zero student logins required.
Each quest is a node-based story: pupils make a choice, see the consequence, and branch again. Wrong turns are safe to make — that's where the learning happens.
Digital Empathy
A classmate is being left out — and then mocked — in the class group chat. Pupils decide whether to pile on, stay silent, or act, and see how each branch plays out.
Critical Awareness
A 'free Robux' site asks for a username, password and parent's card. Pupils spot the red flags one by one and learn why scams target children specifically.
Privacy & Data
A friendly 'kid' in a game asks personal questions over several sessions. Pupils practise what is safe to share — and what to do when questions turn pushy.
What personal information is, why it has value, and how to keep it locked down — usernames, photos, locations and passwords.
How words land differently on a screen. Kindness, inclusion, and what to do when someone is being hurt in a chat or game.
Spotting scams, manipulated content and persuasive design. Building the habit of stopping and thinking before tapping.
The teacher dashboard breaks progress down by theme, so you can see at a glance which class needs more work on privacy versus empathy — and which pupils might need a quiet follow-up.

| Education for a Connected World (UKCIS) | Self-image & Identity · Online Relationships · Online Bullying · Privacy & Security | Every scenario maps to at least one strand; teacher dashboard shows coverage per class. |
| KS2 Computing (England) | Use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour | Branching quests give pupils repeated, low-stakes practice of the programme-of-study statements. |
| PSHE Association — Relationships Education | Respectful relationships online · Caring friendships · Being safe | Discussion prompts after each quest slot straight into PSHE circle-time or tutor sessions. |
| Keeping Children Safe in Education (DfE) | Online safety: content, contact, conduct, commerce | Quests cover all four risk areas, giving Safeguarding Leads evidence of taught online safety. |
Printable A3 posters for the three core themes plus ready-made discussion prompts for each scenario. Enter your school email and we'll send the pack over.
We'll only use your email to send the pack and occasional resource updates. No pupil data involved.
No. Kiosk mode runs on a single classroom device or interactive whiteboard — the teacher enters a school code and pupils play by tapping their name. No pupil emails, no passwords, no personal accounts.
Each scenario takes 10–15 minutes including the branching discussion, so it fits a single computing or PSHE lesson slot.
Per-class and per-pupil progress through the three assessment themes (Privacy & Data, Digital Empathy, Critical Awareness), XP and quest completion, and flags for pupils who may need a follow-up conversation.
The kiosk scenarios are free for classroom use. Schools can register for the full dashboard to track classes, houses and progress over a term.
No installs, no pupil accounts, no data protection headache. Open the kiosk on your classroom device and you're teaching online safety in under two minutes.
