About the Workplace

Stenkulaskolan is a compulsory school (grades 1-9) with approximately 450 students. Starting the 2025/26 school year, Stenkulaskolan has had the opportunity to start a resource school for students in grades 1-9, where we will actively work to ensure all students are included according to their prerequisites. This means that all staff need to be open to changing their approach and teaching methods to best create an inclusive learning environment characterized by a strong belief that all students want to learn. Stenkulaskolan is also Malmö's alternative for students with hearing impairments; these students are fully included in regular teaching groups. The above conditions enable smaller class sizes/teaching groups at the school to create the right learning environment for each student. We work according to Simon Sinek's The Golden Circle, and the school's 'Why' is: "We Make The World A Better Place". Stenkulaskolan's commitment plan has focused in recent years on Accessible Learning Environment, SKUA (Language and Knowledge-Developing Work Methods), and ICT as an accelerator for pedagogy. The commitments aim to create a sense of belonging for all children by having all employees further develop the skills they need to create an accessible learning environment. We believe that we can all always develop and become better, and our school development is based on Michael Fullan's ideas about Coherence and Deepening Learning. Here at Stenkulaskolan, we make a difference for ALL students for real every day. Participate in creating each student's best school – you too!

The Primary School Administration – the city's largest administration with approx. 80 schools, 6,300 employees, and 36,000 students offers a workplace for everyone. Here we want to grow, develop, and challenge ourselves in our learning together – every day. We ensure everyone has a good work environment and invest in leadership. Together, we all work for the best school for every student!

Malmö City's operations are organized into 14 administrations. Our common mission is to create welfare and sustainable societal development. Together with the residents of Malmö, we are developing an even better city to live, work, and be in; differences, life experiences, and talents make Malmö a smart city in the heart of Europe. The world's knowledge is here.
