Public school in the UK refers to a group of very old private paid for schools. Eton being perhaps the best known example.
They are referred to as public schools because they were the first schools to allow anyone to join, so long as they could pass an entrance exam and afford the tuition fees.
They predate the mass education system which in this country is referred to as the "state school system"
Public schools are strongly associated with the upper class and the wealthy.

Hogwarts is in general designed to emulate the environment, norms and prestige that the British public generally associate with these institutions.
