Apple Schoolwork – a powerful tool for teachers

Apple Schoolwork is a powerful teaching assistant designed to help educators manage assignments, track student progress, and personalise learning experiences — all from the iPad or Mac. Together with the Classroom app, it forms part of Apple’s integrated ecosystem that supports teaching and learning in modern classrooms.

For UK schools already using Apple technology, Schoolwork enhances your existing investment by enabling teachers to create and distribute assignments using a wide range of content — including web links, documents, PDFs, and supported apps such as Kahoot!, Tynker, GeoGebra, and Explain Everything, as well as key Apple apps like Swift Playgrounds, Numbers, Pages and Keynote. Thanks to the latest updates, teachers can now deep-link to specific in-app activities, allowing students to jump directly into the right task without wasting time.

With real-time progress tracking, Schoolwork gives educators insights into how each student is doing — whether they’re on track, need support, or ready for the next challenge. These insights enable differentiated teaching strategies, encouraging more inclusive and personalised learning.

Schoolwork is designed with privacy in mind. All student data stays secure, with schools maintaining full control over accounts and information. Apple doesn’t use or monetise student data, ensuring full compliance with UK data protection standards, including GDPR.

Working seamlessly with the Classroom app, Schoolwork helps turn every iPad or Mac into a dynamic teaching tool — enabling teachers to guide lessons, launch apps or web pages, lock devices into specific activities, and support individual students, all from their own device.

Whether you're managing a 1:1 iPad programme or shared devices, Apple Schoolwork brings structure, flexibility, and visibility to digital learning in UK schools — helping educators teach more effectively and students thrive.
