Quentin Blake Grundschule is a state primary school in Berlin offering two concepts: the Regular Primary Branch and the Bilingual European School Branch (SESB). The SESB provides integrated bilingual instruction in English and German from grade 1, with roughly half of the class speaking English and half German. From grades 5 and 6, Science, History and Geography are taught in English, while Mathematics remains in German; French is introduced in grades 5 and 6. The Regular Branch follows Berlin Senate guidelines, with a fixed timetable and a half-day model (8:00–14:25) and optional care before or after class. The school operates on a shared campus with the Biesalski Förderzentrum, and facilities include a four-hectare schoolyard, a sport hall (Aula), libraries, a grand-piano music room, a Mensa, and a teaching kitchen. The Erasmus+ program, the UNITED IN DIVERSITY theme, and after-school clubs foster intercultural learning. Open House Day and libraries are strengths.
