What is Gooseberry Planet?
Gooseberry Planet is an award-winning educational software platform that supports and enhances curriculum delivery for Online Safeguarding in Primary Schools. Gooseberry Planet has been developed with the whole school community in mind. The system can be accessed by the whole school community, so the software is accessible to everyone, both at school and at home via PC, Mobile & Tablet.
Using game-based learning, Gooseberry Planet is totally unique. It offers a fresh, engaging and innovative approach to teaching e-Safety. Pupils face real-life online scenarios to which they must respond, whilst simultaneously collecting stars and competing with their class mates. The game levels address a broad range of topics concerning current online threats and are tailored for different abilities, with audio support for those children who are less able.

Why should I use Gooseberry Planet?
Whilst most schools have blocking and monitoring systems in force, Gooseberry Planet complements these strategies and significantly enhances safeguarding through consistently delivered education, so that children are safe at home (where most of their online activity takes place) as well as at school. Gooseberry Planet is unique in the way it promotes collaboration between the child, the parent and the teacher, providing detailed advice and creating contextualised opportunities that promote informed dialogue between them.

Teachers and parents and have a combined duty to teach children about online safety but with new apps, games and social media sites evolving at a rapid rate, it has become apparent that many of us are not confident about how to prepare and protect our children for a life online.

Gooseberry Alerts contain practical e-safety tips and information for you to share amongst your whole school community. We keep on top of the latest trending apps and threats online and offer advice to help keep children safe when using internet-enabled devices.

What Do Our Clients Say?
Gooseberry Planet was designed by education and online safety specialists to empower teacher with everything they need to help students understand and navigate the online world safely and responsibly.
"The new platform is working well and the children continue to enjoy the game as well as resources. We particularly like having the option to download the results and track each child closely in order to identify those at risk, whilst parents are appreciating the fortnightly advice!"
Clare Rogers
Little Chalfont Primary School
"I feel it is a great programme and it really teaches about the dangers out there on the internet. With more and more children spending time online, this is a great programme that can be used to raise awareness and with the support of parents, children will be protected from dangers that may arise as well as teaching them about protecting themselves from online scams, threats and other issues that could affect their identity."
Jenny Condron
British International School, Freetown
"Our Digital Leaders have really enjoyed piloting Gooseberry Planet and have been introducing the resource to the other classes and it has received a positive response from teachers and pupils alike. Pupils from P4-7 have shown great enthusiasm towards the Gooseberry Planet game and have been becoming quite competitive! The game allows children to have fun whilst also learning about e-safety through questions they need to answer as the game progresses. We have used the game as a follow-up after our main lesson/activity. Gooseberry Planet provides a range of differentiated lesson plans and worksheets covering a wide variety of e-safety issues, such as Junk Email, Passwords, Online Security, Sexting, Location Sharing, Keeping Healthy Online etc. On the whole, a great e-safety resource for pupils and teachers alike."
