About the Workplace

Here are all the heroes! - said one of our students. It certainly describes Tunaskolan well. Over 750 students in grades F–9 and adapted primary school included attend Tunaskolan. Together with Mårtenskolan, we form the Tuna principal area. We are proud of the diversity we represent and see differences as an asset. Tunaskolan is co-located with Östervångsskolan.

Tunaskolan's professional and proud teaching staff and personnel do their utmost for the students. Our vision is for students to learn now and in the future. For us, this means that we should always know what we are doing and why to enhance students' abilities and competencies. Interaction and collaboration are focus areas at our school to create safety and equity in both the work environment and assessment work.

In the adapted primary school, students with intellectual disabilities attend. Tuna adapted primary school has grades from 1 to 9. The students are divided into stage classes 1-3, 4-6, and 7-9. Our school offers both orientations within the adapted primary school, namely subjects and subject areas. Tuna adapted primary school is organized into three different tracks as follows:

Track A: Subject orientation, teaching in a cohesive class
Track B: Subject area orientation, teaching in a cohesive class
Track C: Subject area orientation, teaching that is more individualized

Tracks A and B operate at Tunaskolan while Track C has its premises at Lilla Tuna. Lilla Tuna is co-located with Mårtenskolan and also has its management, student health, and administration there. The school is located about 1 km from Tunaskolan and also offers after-school activities for lower and middle school. Tracks A and B have after-school activities in Tunaskolan's premises.

Learning and working to make students independent in everyday life are central parts of Tuna adapted primary school. Care can also be an important part of the work with our students.

At the child and school administration, we work to create equity and good conditions for all children and students within our preschools, primary schools, and adapted primary schools to achieve their goals. Together, we work for a uniform and clear governance of preschool and school in a modern and efficient organization, aiming to enable world-class education. Our ambitions are high, and we always strive to create good conditions for development and safeguard high quality in the operations.

To work with children or students within preschool and school, you need to be able to present an acceptable extract from the criminal record.
