@WOANH Neither of those is correct. You could say:
"Could you tell me the name of the school that you are currently studying at?"
or
"Could you tell me the school's name that you are currently studying at?"
The first one is more natural, though.

Neither is quite correct. You could either say "the name of the school" or "the school's name." Those both mean the same thing.

"The name of the school" and "the school's name" are identical. "The school name" is also acceptable in this case.
"The name of school" is wrong, you need an article like "a school" or "the school"
