Canterbury is a school which is proud of its heritage. Since the early 1990s a group of staff and parents have been actively engaged in researching the school's history and storing a wide range of archival material associated with the school. In 2008 Canterbury Primary School celebrated 100 years of excellence in education.

The original buildings remain and careful stewardship over the century has kept many of the architectural features intact. A Heritage Trail around the school compliments the curriculum as well as guiding visitors to significant points of the school's history. Tours of the school and the Heritage Trail are available on Tuesdays at 2.30pm or at other times by prior arrangement. Bookings are essential.

An extensive archive collection is continually being added to by donations from past pupils. Regular displays from this collection give an insight to the school's history for the students.
