About the Workplace

Krungårdsskolan in Blomstermåla is a preschool class to grade 9 school with approximately 280 students and also includes adapted primary school.

At Krungårdsskolan, we work with Challenging Learning – a joint pedagogical initiative and approach in Mönsterås Municipality's preschools and primary schools. The initiative has five focus areas: dialogue, feedback, transitions, challenges, and mindset. The goal is to create teaching that strengthens students' thinking, creativity, and curiosity, makes them more aware of their own learning, and contributes to increased goal achievement.

At Krungårdsskolan, there is a clear commitment to both safety, participation, and the students' development also outside the classroom. To develop this, the school works with the TL/Well-being Program as a pedagogical tool for increased activity, safety, and structure during breaks, where the break is used to promote physical activity and simultaneously give students tools within leadership and inclusion.

The school is also part of CultureCrew Kalmar County, where students in grades 4–9 are trained and supported in the role as cultural organizers within the framework of the school's regular operations. This strengthens the students' participation and influence and contributes to the development of culture's position in the school over time.
