Plan your school publication
Plan clear routes for school announcements, campus stories and wider education reporting. Compare how short updates sit beside longer features and make important information easy to recognise. Keep section names familiar to your readers and review the article layout with the actual headline lengths and photographs your communications team will use.
Build a clear newsroom reading path
A news-oriented layout should help visitors identify the lead story and understand which subjects you cover regularly. Compare a current update, a background article and a longer feature when reviewing article pages. Think about the number of stories you can publish consistently and how that affects homepage density. Make room in your content plan for dates, sources and links to earlier coverage, then check how those elements would work with the selected design.
Compare relevant JNews demos
Use these examples as a starting point. Their descriptions reflect the demos assigned to this category; the live previews let you compare the actual homepage and article presentation.
- School News: A school news WordPress template for school communications teams and education news editors. Features a purple-accented featured-story hero with supporting story tabs.
- Education News: An education news WordPress template for education magazines and campus news editors. Features a navy-accented campus image hero with two supporting story tiles.
Prepare your content before choosing a layout
Bring several real headlines, a short article, a longer feature and photographs with different shapes to your comparison. Check the selected demo details for its intended use and confirm the builder and import requirements for your setup. Plan your categories before adding sample content, then review the result on a phone as well as a desktop. Customise the structure around the stories you can maintain rather than trying to fill every demonstration section immediately.
Understand what a JNews demo includes
JNews provides the WordPress theme behind these designs. A demo gives you a prepared visual starting point and sample material for a particular publishing approach. Review the exact demo detail page for the layouts and requirements you intend to use; a preview is not a promise that every specialist service or integration is included. The designs in this catalogue belong to the premium JNews offering. Check the current purchase and licence information before deciding which setup suits your project.
Import and make the design your own
Install your JNews edition and the plugins required by the selected demo, activate the relevant licence and open the JNews Import Demo & Style tools. Review the available import choices before proceeding. Back up an existing site and try the import in staging first. Replace demonstration branding, navigation, articles and media with your own material, then use the available design controls to adjust the publication. Confirm any external services separately and test your finished homepage, archives and articles on desktop and mobile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who are these school news WordPress themes suitable for?
This collection is intended for school communications teams, campus editors and publishers following education news. School publishing brings institutional announcements, student stories and education developments into one readable place. These demos focus on school and campus news, giving you two ways to compare a prominent lead story with supporting updates and recurring subjects. Use it to compare publishing approaches within this subject, then choose the demo whose homepage and article presentation match the content you plan to maintain.
How can a school publication balance announcements with longer stories?
Give urgent or practical announcements a clear place while keeping student stories and longer education features easy to discover. Use consistent subject labels and decide which sections your team can maintain regularly. Compare both assigned demos with several real announcements and a longer article before choosing the structure that suits your community.
What should I compare in a school news layout?
Plan clear routes for school announcements, campus stories and wider education reporting. Compare how short updates sit beside longer features and make important information easy to recognise. Keep section names familiar to your readers and review the article layout with the actual headline lengths and photographs your communications team will use. Open both the homepage and complete articles, and compare the same content types across your shortlisted demos so the differences are meaningful.
Which school demos should I preview first?
Start with School News, Education News. A school news WordPress template for school communications teams and education news editors. An education news WordPress template for education magazines and campus news editors. Open their live previews to compare the differences described here, then review the rest of the category if you need another editorial approach.
Can I customise a school news demo for my own publication?
Use the selected demo as a starting point for your own content and editorial identity. Review its details and confirm the builder and import workflow for your setup before making changes. For school publishing, compare your own photographs and headlines with the sample layout, then adjust the sections, navigation and visual choices around the stories you actually plan to publish.
What content should I prepare before using a school news design?
Prepare a few real article titles, an introductory paragraph, a short post and a longer feature, together with photographs or other media you expect to use. Think about the recurring subjects relevant to school communications teams, campus editors and publishers following education news. Testing that content against the live previews helps you spot whether a homepage needs fewer sections, clearer categories or a different balance between images and text.
How should I compare these school designs on mobile?
Open the live previews on a phone and compare the navigation, headline wrapping, image crops and the amount of scrolling needed to reach a full article. Follow a realistic route from a school homepage to an article and then to another relevant story. Judge the experience with your expected content length and media, and test again after you have customised your chosen layout.
Does this category include student accounts or a learning management system?
The category describes the publishing subject of the assigned demos. It does not by itself confirm course enrolment, student accounts, quizzes, paid lessons or progress tracking. Review your selected demo and any separate learning platform requirements if those functions are part of your project. An editorial website for schools or learning articles can have a different setup from a course delivery platform.
What is the difference between JNews and a demo design?
JNews is the underlying WordPress theme. The demos are prepared designs that show different ways to present a publication with that theme. Choose a demo as a starting point, then replace its sample material and adapt the layout to your own audience. Check the selected demo details for its requirements rather than assuming that every preview uses exactly the same setup.
Are the school designs free standalone WordPress themes?
These designs are part of the premium JNews theme collection. They are not separate free themes to install independently. Review the current JNews pricing, licence terms and the selected demo requirements before purchase or import. The catalogue helps you compare visual and editorial approaches, while the product information explains which edition and access apply to your project.
How do I import a JNews demo for school?
Prepare a WordPress installation with your JNews edition and the required plugins, activate the relevant licence and use the JNews Import Demo & Style tools to review the available choices. Back up an existing site and test the process in staging. Replace sample text, logos, images and navigation with your own material afterwards, and configure any external services needed for the features you plan to use.
