If your school restricted that access, then NO. There's no way to change the wallpaper.

How do I change the home screen if there is no background?

Community Answer

There always is a background. iPhones and iPads come with the wallapapers that Apple makes.

Question

How do I add text to my home screen on my iPad?

Community Answer

You could make your own custom design in Photoshop or even on Google Drawings (if you have an email you can do this). If it's something generic, like a quote, letter, initial or (common) name, you can probably find images for those words online that you can take screenshots of.

Question

How do I get a solid blue wall paper on the home screen?

Community Answer

All you have to do is go to the internet and search up: Blue background. Go to images and it should pop up a bunch of blue backgrounds. Pick one and screenshot it. Go to Settings, then Backgrounds. Choose your screenshot and adjust it until it's just as you'd like it to be, then use it.

Question

Can I have two different backgrounds?

Community Answer

Yes, but they can’t be on the same screen. One would be the background on your lock screen and the other would be the background on your home screen.
