Hi Enock,
Went to a Missing Maps event this afternoon and was a bit pressed for time
when I answered. When you drop Primary/Secondary school from those names,
all that's left is the name of the village/parish. That's not the name of
the school either, so I'd say it's an integral part of the name after all.
