Bedford Park Public School (commonly called Bedford Park PS) is a public elementary school located in the Bedford Park neighborhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It operates under the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) nd serves students from kindergarten to Grade 8.
Bedford Park Public School first opened in September 1911 with about 70 students in Grades 1 to 4. The original two-storey building contained four classrooms and was staffed by four teachers, including the principal, and supported by one janitor. Early teachers included Mrs. Grant and Miss DeFoot, with Mr. Darley as head teacher and Mr. Lamon as the school’s first director. Records from the period note that the janitor’s salary was $40 per month.
As the local population increased, Bedford Park expanded rapidly. Between 1914 and 1920, 24 additional classrooms were constructed to accommodate enrollment growth, transforming the school from a small neighborhood facility into one of the area’s larger elementary schools.
By the mid-20th century, the school had become closely linked to the post-war development of the Bedford Park and Lawrence Park neighborhoods. In the 1970s, another major building project added a gymnasium and a swimming pool, which broadened both physical education and community use.
The school has continued to undergo renovations and program changes in response to Toronto District School Board policy shifts and demographic trends in the city. Its history is considered reflective of the broader growth of northern Toronto during the 20th century.
