HOW SCHOOLS USE THEIR EDITIONS

Every school has stories worth sharing — and your newspaper is a powerful way to tell them. Schools use their editions to celebrate pupil achievements, showcase creativity, strengthen communication with parents and alumni, and capture the day-to-day life that makes their community unique. Whether shared in print or digitally, each edition becomes a valuable tool for engagement, recruitment and connection across your entire school community.

We are delighted to be working with Times-Ed on the production of our biannual school newspaper ‘On the Close’. Our entire community thoroughly enjoy it and Lynn and the team are always a joy with whom to work.

Dr Michael Gray, Executive Headmaster, Hereford Cathedral School.

I have worked with Carl and Lynn at TimesEd over the past 18 months to bring the Sedbergh Prep Chronicle to life. I was initially drawn to their creative idea and friendly manner on our first meeting. They have gone on to provide the school with extremely high levels of professionalism, service and creativity that have brought our newspaper to life. I have found that nothing is ever too much trouble, and the school and parents are delighted with the finished product. I would have no hesitation in recommending TimesEd to other schools and businesses – thank you Carl and Lynn!
