Articles written about concerning school in May? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theresa

'may?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'articles written about concerning school' is the wordplay.
'articles' becomes 'thea' (definite article 'the', indefinite article 'a').
'written about' is an insertion indicator.
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'school' becomes 'S'.
're'+'s'='res'
'thea' enclosing 'res' is 'THERESA'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for theresa that I've seen before include "Maria ___ , Archduchess of Austria, d. 1780" , "Girl's name" , "Maria -, Austr. empress" , "Woman" , "Girl" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
