No.
We'd normally say just 'My school is ...' or 'I go to ... School'. 'The name of my school is ...' is possible.

They are all correct, in speech and in writing. I am not in the habit of suggesting incorrect sentences.

It is usually just: "The name of my school is ...", but if your school was founded by a noble person and it carries his name then you can say: "The school, which I attend named after ..."

I don't think many people would bother to point out that their school was named after someone in such a way. You might say "I go to Yehudi Menuhin School, named after the famous violinist" but only if you think the listener would be interested in such information.
