Newsletter Template — Lead Feature for Schools
A magazine 55/45 split: kicker, tight headline and standfirst on the left, a full-bleed image plate on the right. The lead item of a school or campus issue.

The prompt
Two ways to build this email in plain language. The fastest is Temway's in-editor assistant — open the chat drawer in the email editor and paste the recipe below. Or connect Claude or ChatGPT via Temway's MCP and paste it there; the agent builds the email step by step. Either way, adapt the copy and colors to your brand.
- An email is a top-to-bottom stack of blocks — the recipe follows that order.
- A
[layout]step becomes a single image (great for heroes); everything else stays live text and links. - Theme the footer to match — the recipe's last step does exactly that.
Want this exact email? Click Use this template below to clone
it into your workspace, then ask the in-editor assistant to rebrand it. Over MCP, tell
your agent to clone the Temway share _cthkV3-Jmwic6JyZKY4g and rebrand. For the
full model, point an MCP agent at get_concept — email-structure,

Every issue needs one item that is clearly the lead. This one borrows the shape a magazine uses for its opening spread — type held to the left column, a single photograph running full-bleed down the right — so the hierarchy is obvious before anyone reads the headline.
Snapshot
- Goal: give the issue’s main story a lead that outranks everything under it.
- Audience & tone: parents, students, and staff. Warm but unhurried — a school voice, not a marketing one.

Make it yours
- Swap the hero image for a real photograph from the story — the split only works when the picture earns its half.
- Rewrite the kicker to whatever your recurring section is called (“Term three”, “This week”, “From the head”).
- Keep the diary dates as plain text lines. A three-column table of dates is unreadable on a phone.
About newsletter email templates
A newsletter is the one email category built for a relationship, not a single moment. There is no hard deadline and no one dominant CTA — the job is to show up on a predictable cadence often enough that subscribers recognize the format and know where to look for the update they actually care about.
See all newsletter templates →How is a newsletter template different from a promotional email template?
A newsletter is built for a recurring cadence and a returning audience — the design favors consistent section structure, so readers know where to look each issue, over a single hard sell. Promotional templates are built around one offer and one deadline instead.
What sections should a company newsletter include?
Most effective newsletters below hold to three or four recurring sections — a short editor's note, one or two curated highlights, and a closing link or two — rather than trying to cover everything that happened since the last send.
Can I reuse the same newsletter template every month?
Yes, and it's the recommended approach — clone it once, then swap the content each cycle so subscribers recognize the format immediately instead of relearning a new layout every send.
Do Temway newsletter templates support an unsubscribe link and merge tags?
Yes — every template includes a compliant unsubscribe footer and supports Temway's merge-tag picker for personalizing subject lines and greetings per recipient.
