It's about the children

We are a special primary school for students with lasting functional impairments and need for special frameworks to support their learning, development and well-being.

We are a school with a pedagogical and professional environment where staff and management think differently and broadly about the students' learning. We work to develop each student's learning potential based on their competencies and prerequisites.

Our core task: We create safety, well-being and development, so that each student gets the best conditions for

to succeed academically, socially and personally – in school and in life

We are about 156 students and 155 staff, and you will become part of an interdisciplinary environment where we collaborate on students' learning, well-being and personal mastery in Professional Learning Communities.

You will as a pedagogue be a major part of both planning and execution of the teaching, in collaboration with your team.

We also function as an educational institution for student teachers.

Get off to a good and safe start

At Lundagerskolen we work with children and young people who can have outward behaviour – also towards staff. We take this seriously. Therefore we have clear procedures and joint agreements for how we handle situations where a student becomes challenged or acts out. You must feel safe in your work and know that you never stand alone.

We have a strong focus on Low Arousal and trauma-informed psychology, and we provide you from the start with concrete methods and tools to understand and handle challenging situations even if you have no prior experience.

• Can think broadly regarding the students' learning
