Stamplo

🏫 Safe, parent-managed digital pen pals — designed for families, suitable for schools to share with parents.

Stamplo for Schools & Educators

Stamplo helps children aged 7–14 build global friendships through slow, meaningful letter writing — with full parental control and no school accounts required.

Stamplo is not social media — there are no feeds, no messaging, no profiles, and no algorithms. Only slow, parent-approved digital letters.

Schools may choose to signpost Stamplo to parents as part of their digital literacy or online safety guidance. All accounts, approvals, and safety decisions stay with the family. Teachers never view, access, or approve children’s letters.

📚 Supports literacy, cultural learning, and safe online habits.

Why Schools May Signpost Stamplo to Parents

✍️ Supports Literacy & Writing Skills

Children practice thoughtful letter writing — not fast messaging. Useful for literacy, cultural exchange units, or pen pal projects where parents remain fully in control.

🛡 Fully Parent-Managed

Schools do not approve messages or manage children’s accounts. Parents approve every connection and every letter using the Four-Eyes Check. Teachers have no access and no responsibility.

🌍 Global Citizenship

Children connect with peers worldwide, encouraging curiosity, empathy, and cultural understanding — all within a parent-managed environment.
