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.

Celebrating the life of the school

  • Sharing pupil work, classroom projects, creative writing, music and art
  • Highlighting staff contributions and school initiatives
  • Giving pupils a platform for authentic voice and expression

Strengthening community connections

  • Keeping alumni connected to current school life
  • Helping parents feel informed and involved
  • Creating a shared sense of identity across past, present and future

Enhancing existing school communications

  • A meaningful alternative to traditional newsletters and annual magazines
  • High-quality, cost-free publication that reflects school life more regularly
  • Supporting recruitment and retention by showing the lived experience of the school

Flexible ways to share your edition

“We have worked with Times-Ed for several years on the development of our twice yearly newspaper –  The Rossallian.

Our Rossallian newspaper is full of exciting articles and features and the design and print service that Times-Ed offer are outstanding. We work collaboratively with Time-Ed to get to an end product that we are proud of showing to our community. We have alumni and parents who love to advertise their businesses through the paper too, so it really works well for our Rossallians.

Our newspaper is used as an engagement and marketing tool for our School and helps with recruitment and keeping our community up to date with the latest news from the School.”

“Today, for the very first time, we’re excited to launch The Hymerian as a newspaper. Accessible, sustainable, and packed with the wonderful achievements and everyday moments that make Hymers so special.

A huge thank you to the TimesEd team and to our brilliant advertisers (many of whom are proud Old Hymerians and current parents) who have made this possible at no cost to the school.”

Laura Booth (Director of Marketing: Hymers College)
