博文學校由松柏塱村民喺1920年建立，係新界第一間註冊學校，亦係最早期嘅資助學校之一，當時政府每年向學校資助港幣60元辦學。學校由校舍及高座組成，喺1948年、1954年同1962年擴建過，擴充課室接收來自第啲村落嘅學生。日佔香港期間，學校被迫關閉，去到1946年先至復課。1950年，學校首次開辦6班小學，係新界教育發展嘅里程碑。1965年，學校成立博文幼稚園，規模盛極一時。踏入1980年代，學校面對市區學校嘅競爭同收生率日漸減少嘅威脅，入學人數下降。1993年，學校轉為全日制並開始接收內地學生，之但係到2000年代卒之停辦。而今校舍主樓及1954年起嘅校舍俾古物古蹟辦事處列為三級歷史建築。
Founded in 1920 by the villagers of Chung Pak Long, Bowen School was the first registered school in the New Territories, or one of the earliest aided schools, when the government subsidized the school with an annual subsidy of HK$60. The school consisted of a school building and a high block, and was expanded in 1948, 1954 and 1962 to accommodate students from other villages. During the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, schools were forced to close and did not resume until 1946. In 1950, the school opened its first six-class primary school, which was a milestone in the development of education in the New Territories. In 1965, the school established Bowen Kindergarten, which was very prosperous. In the 1980s, school enrollment declined in the face of competition from urban schools and the threat of declining enrolment rates. In 1993, the school became full-time and began to accept mainland students, but it was finally closed in the 2000s. The current main building and the school premises since 1954 are classified as Grade 3 historic buildings by the Antiquities and Monuments Office.
