Fanling Public School (粉嶺公立學校) is a primary school in Fanling, North District, New Territories, Hong Kong. It is in Fanling Village (or Fanling Wai) and near to the MTR train station.
The school was founded about 50 years ago. Before that, being known as the "Sze Tak Study Hall" (思德書室), it used to be a traditional private school for the Pang's family in the village. The school is intended to service the children of Fanling Village only, although it has extended to all children living in North District now. The current campus, of a size of 12,000 square metres, is just next to the old campus, which has become a historical place. The comfortable, tranquil, and beautiful campus is an ideal learning environment for the students.
The current principal of the school is Mr Li Shui Bor (李穗波先生).

Famous quotes containing the words public school, public and/or school:
“The poorest children in a community now find the beneficent kindergarten open to them from the age of two-and-a-half to six years. Too young heretofore to be eligible to any public school, they have acquired in their babyhood the vicious tendencies of their own depraved neighborhoods; and to their environment at that tender age had been due the loss of decency and self-respect that no after example of education has been able to restore to them.”
—Virginia Thrall Smith (1836–1903)
“Mormon colonization south of this point in early times was characterized as “going over the Rim,” and in colloquial usage the same phrase came to connote violent death.”
—State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“A man who graduated high in his class at Yale Law School and made partnership in a top law firm would be celebrated. A man who invested wisely would be admired, but a woman who accomplishes this is treated with suspicion.”
—Barbra Streisand (b. 1942)
