Our Story

Red Apple Education and Skwirk were founded in October 2005 by company Chairman Rod Salmon.

The original concept was to create a safe online destination and learning environment for students to use as a resource tool for homework and assignments. However, after positive feedback from schools and teachers, Skwirk was taken into the classroom as a learning tool and we have continued to adapt and develop new ways of enhancing learning.

The Skwirk team, now led by GM Jordan Butler, bring together a diversity of experience in education, teaching and learning technologies to make Skwirk one of the leading education portals. We are constantly evolving the tools and content based on valuable feedback from our customers..

Skwirk now hosts over 18,000 resources, is used by over 21,000 teachers and 320,000 students, and is used in over 1400 schools! Skwirk's resources are also used all around the world, including Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, India, and the USA.

"When we bring Skwirk into the classroom, you can see the children's eyes light up. They're keen to do the activities and the reaction's always positive"

Year 2 Teacher, St. Martin's Catholic School Davidson

"As a mum who is not a teacher, I had concerns about providing a good education for my son. But now using the Skwirk system and seeing my son's improvement across the board in such a small time, I feel very confident that Skwirk is definitely the right way to go."

Skwirk Parent

"I like all the animations. They're easy to understand, so it's easy to do my work"

Holly, Year 5 Student

"There's no need to waste time searching for the right blend of learning material, as it's all available at Skwirk. The format is child friendly and appealing enough to engage unwilling learners, as well as children who love to expand their knowledge"

Year 3 Teacher

There are many reasons why our boys are enjoying Skwirk. They are learning without realising it, and having fun-they even bug me to get onto the computer so that they can have 'their turn'."

Lisa, a Skwirk Parent
