SCHOOLS

Lilla Alby School

In the middle of central Sundbyberg is Lilla Alby School, a school that grows together with the rest of Sundbyberg. The school is close to both transport and green areas such as Tuvanparken, Bällstaån and Marabouparken.

Lilla Alby school has approximately 520 students, from preschool class to school year 6. We offer leisure activities to all children from preschool class to year 6. School and leisure have a close collaboration and work together throughout the school day. The school consists of two buildings, the white and the red house. In the white house, students attend preschool through year 3 and in the red house there are students in years 4-6. You will also find administration and the dining room in the red house.

Pedagogy

At Lilla Alby School, we strive for each student to develop to the maximum based on their circumstances. Our goal is that everyone should be met with respect, feel safe and happy at work. We build respect for each other with the help of the staff, who get involved in each individual student. This is facilitated by the pedagogues working in teams around a certain number of students, in order to better see the whole in both learning and play. To promote respect for each other, regardless of age, we have a sponsor system where older and younger students have the opportunity to meet and interact in everyday life, on outdoor days and theme weeks. Sponsorship also contributes to increased security at the school.

Safety is a prerequisite for maximum knowledge acquisition. Safety is created by all adults in the school working towards the same goal, having a common approach and a consensus regarding routines in daily work. The school has active equal treatment work where basic values lessons are on the schedule. The school has a Safety Team that runs the preventive value-based work. For example, Together with students and teachers, the Safety Team plans different themed weeks during the academic year. We see a close collaboration with the homes as another security factor.

We want everyone to feel joy at work at Lilla Alby School. We have therefore created an inspiring environment that encourages one's own initiative. A varied way of working with both theory and practice, which is based on student influence, also means increased job satisfaction.
