Objectives. The aim of this study is to find out what is the fulfilment of multiprofessional pupil welfare like in primary school, from class teachers’ point of view and what kind of multiprofessional support do class teachers receive in their everyday work. There are not many studies made about the subject, especially from class teachers’ point of view. The theory of the study is based on literature about the concepts and contents of pupil welfare, national core curriculum and Pupil and Student Welfare act. This study has two assignments: 1. Which things promote or prevent the communal and individual fulfilment of pupil welfare? and 2. In which ways does multiprofessional pupil welfare group support class teachers in their work? Methods. The study was conducted as a qualitative case study in a comprehensive school, but the study is only focused on the pupil welfare in elementary school. Five teachers took part in this study, four of them were class teachers and one was a special class teacher. They thought classes between the first and the fourth class. The teachers were interviewed using thematic interviews and the analysis of this study was made using content analysis. Results and Conclusions. According to the results of the study, class teachers thought that the members of the pupil welfare group had a lot of professionalism and the school had a wide range of pupil welfare services. Despite the potential, pupil welfare did not fulfil its assignment as well as it should have. The aim of pupil welfare group is to work communally and proactively, but the teachers thought that it did not come true completely. The pupils did not get enough communal and individual support and pupil welfare was not as visible in everyday life as it should have. The teachers get support from pupil welfare in singular things, such as determining the need for support and writing pedagogical documents. The pupil welfare did not support class teachers in their work as much as they had hoped for. Although collegial support was mentioned as a big help in everyday work.
