No local primary school, this! Why it should be named after a location 26km away (as the crow flies), I didn't know, until an answer came back: John Teather reports that the school was originally at Durlston Head, but had to be relocated because of WW2 damage; after the war, it was re-established here. http://www.durlstoncourt.co.uk/
