Canterbury School requires a uniform for Primary and Secondary (from Year 2 to Year 11). The uniform includes a dark green polo shirt with the crest, a navy blue pullover or cardigan, grey tailored trousers or a tartan skirt, and navy socks or tights with navy blue or black shoes. A P.E. uniform (white T-shirt and green shorts) is worn on PE days, and uniforms can be purchased from the school office or El Corte Inglés; all garments must be labeled with the pupil's name; the dress code requires polo shirts to be tucked in and prohibits extreme hair styles, makeup, and jewellery.
The House system fosters integration and a sense of the whole school.
Founder and Honorary Principal is Beryl Pritchard. The senior leadership team includes Pamela Ainsworth (Infants), Lindsay Gale (Primary), David O'Kane (Secondary and Bachillerato), and Kirsty Mallinson (Maspalomas).
Canterbury School's San Lorenzo campus is a co-educational day school educating students from ages 6 to 18. The school follows the English National Curriculum through the Primary and Secondary stages, culminating in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme for Sixth Form students. Lessons are taught in English, complemented by dedicated instruction in Spanish language and Canarian culture, with a third language introduced at age 11. The 60,000m² campus features specific support facilities, including a dedicated theatre and an indoor sports hall for physical education and creative arts. A distinctive feature of student life is the Canterbury Student Union (CSU), an initiative fully led by Sixth Formers that organizes events like the Christmas Assembly and intra-school sports competitions. In Primary, the school runs a "Playground Friends" scheme, encouraging older students to mentor younger children to help maintain a supportive environment.
