Do we need devices, a platform or a login?

No. The cards are physical, posted to your school. There's nothing to install, no logins to manage, no passwords for children to forget. A teacher handbook PDF is the only digital element.

How long does each card take?

Twelve to fifteen minutes for a discussion. Some classes will go longer. There's no homework, no marking, no assessment overhead.

I'm a parent, not a teacher — will it work at home?

Yes — the Home Pack is built for the kitchen table. Each card opens a 10–15 minute conversation; the back has prompts you can read straight from the card if your child asks something tricky. No teaching qualification, no preparation, and no “the right answer.” If your child's school later joins, we'll upgrade your pack for free.

What if our school uses Internet Explorers and we want to follow along?

Even better. Schools on a licence get a printable parent leaflet for every card their class covers — same question, plainer language. Ask your school's PSHE lead. The result: school and home reinforcing the same message in the same week, instead of working against each other.

Is Level 1 really free forever?

Yes. Level 1 is free to every UK state primary, and we're committed to keeping it that way — including the printed cards, posted, every year. (Home Packs for parents are paid — they help fund the schools who can't pay.)

How is the curriculum kept current?

Each summer we send a refresh pack — usually 5–8 replacement cards covering anything new in the year (a platform, a threat, an update to statutory guidance). You drop them into your existing pack.

Will it work for SEND, EAL, or pre‑readers?

It's our starting point, not an afterthought. Level 1 is wordless and image-led. Every card across every level uses the Andika typeface, dyslexia-friendly leading, plain English, and consistent visual structure. EAL teachers tell us the cards work because the images carry the meaning.

Internet Explorers was started by a parent working through exactly this with their own child, not a large edtech company. You can read the full story in the section above.

The programme

Fifty cards. One conversation a week.

Each level is fifty illustrated learning cards designed to spark a 15‑minute discussion. Use them in PSHE, in form time, in assembly — or at the kitchen table after tea. The cards do the heavy lifting; the grown‑up stays in the conversation.

50cards per level

One a week, with five spare for assemblies, themed weeks, or the topics you want to revisit. Each card is double‑sided: a discussion prompt for the class, teacher notes on the back.

Children learn that a password is private, and that the only people who ever need it are the trusted grown‑ups at home.

Discussion prompts

Who is allowed to know your password? Who isn't?
What could go wrong if someone else knew it?
What would you do if a friend asked you to share it?

No login, no platform to learn, no Chromebooks required. Cards arrive printed, laminated and dated. Drop one on the desk and start.

A PSHE online safety curriculum, mapped for you

Every card is referenced to PSHE Association objectives (H and L strands) and to UKCIS "Education for a Connected World." Hand it to your inspector.

One scheme, every year group

Four levels grow with the child, from "what's a password?" in Reception through to deepfakes, consent and digital identity at sixth form. Same look, same voice, same values.

Designed to be read aloud — by anyone

Set in Andika, a high‑legibility typeface developed for early readers and dyslexic readers. Short sentences. Generous leading. Plain English. Cards that a TA, a parent volunteer or a Year 6 mentor can pick up cold.

The journey

Four levels, ages 5 to sixth form.

A child who starts with us in Reception meets the same characters, the same questions, the same trusted voice, all the way to sixth form. Schools usually start with one level and add as they grow.

Why Internet Explorers

It started with my own daughter.

I'm a parent, the same as you. I wanted my daughter and her friends to have the deeper, ongoing conversations about staying safe online — the kind there's rarely time for in a busy school week, and that don't always make it home. So I built fifty of them: one voice, for the classroom and the kitchen table.

A parent and child talking together at home

The same conversation, at school and at home.

When the class talks through a card on Monday, the parent leaflet goes home that evening with the same question, in plainer language. Children hear one consistent message, not two that pull in different directions.

A child exploring and learning, surrounded by books

Built for every reader in the class.

Andika typeface, generous spacing, plain English, off-white paper, never centred text. There's no separate “SEND version” — the whole scheme is built for the dyslexic readers in every classroom.

Tell a grown-up if anything feels weird!

Physical cards. No devices, no logins.

Fifty printed cards, posted to your school. Nothing to install, no accounts to manage, and no passwords for children to forget.

How it fits in your week

Slots into the time you already have.

No new lesson to plan. No new bedtime routine to invent. Most schools run a card a week in PSHE or form time; most families do one a week at the kitchen table. Here's a typical year.

Your pack arrives at the start of the year

Cards posted to school or to your door. Plus a teacher handbook (or a family conversation guide) and a parent leaflet you can copy.

One card a week, 15 minutes

A PSHE starter, a circle‑time prompt, an assembly — or a chat in the car on the way home. Cards are dated to the academic year so school and home stay in step.

School and home, same page

Each card has a “fridge version” parents use that evening. Same question, gentler voice, no jargon. Children hear one consistent message.

Refresh in summer

We send replacement cards each summer for any new threats, new platforms, or new statutory guidance. You stay current without lifting a finger.

Talk to us

Pupil‑premium funded settings, special schools and PRUs: please get in touch — there is almost always a way.

The Internet Explorers portal

Log in to your cards — and everything that comes with them.

Every school and every Home Pack comes with a portal account. The cards are still the heart of the programme — the portal is where the supporting kit lives. Open a card on the whiteboard. Print a parent leaflet. Send a pupil a digital activity. Refresh, replay, revisit.

Digital cards on the whiteboard

Every printed card has a full-screen digital twin: high-resolution illustration, read-aloud audio, animation on tap. Perfect for assemblies and SEND settings where one card on the wall beats fifty in a hand.

Documents & planning

Teacher handbooks, year planners, PSHE mapping spreadsheets, safeguarding briefings and the parent leaflet — printable, editable, dated, all in one place. Hand the lot to your inspector.

The digital experience

Short interactive activities pupils can complete on a Chromebook or at home. Spot the deepfake. Sort the kind messages. Build a stronger password. Children stay logged in to one safe account; no email needed.

One account, two views

Schools see a class dashboard. Parents see a family dashboard. The same child can be linked to both — so what's covered at school appears on the family screen, ready for that evening.
