Bishop Feild College (originally Church of England Academy; formerly Church of England College and Bishop Feild Elementary; currently Bishop Feild School), founded in 1844, is a school in St. John's, Newfoundland. Founded as the Church of England Academy, it was renamed in 1892 as the Church of England College in 1892, before its 1894 name change to Bishop Feild College.[1] The renaming was in honor of Bishop Edward Feild, a school inspector and second bishop of Newfoundland.
Originally an Anglican-affiliated boys school of the Newfoundland Cathedral,[2] it later also admitted girls. BFC has functioned as a middle school and secondary school, but it now only admits students through grade 6. An independent private school until the 1960s, it eventually joined the school board. It is a member of the International League of Peaceful Schools. It currently teaches approximately 273 children in grades Kindergarten to Grade 6 that offers an English language stream as well as an Early French Immersion Program.[3]
Early headmasters of BFC came from England. Ralph Robinson Wood was the first headmaster born in Newfoundland.[4] BFC alumni are referred to as "Old Feildians".[5]
The Feildian was a monthly magazine pertaining to BFC and other Church of England schools in Newfoundland. Its objectives were to foster school spirit while chronicling the school's affairs through content such as correspondence, news, sports, and an alumni section. Established in 1893, it ceased publication in 1960. It was the first publication of its kind in Newfoundland.[6]
