'hung over?' is the definition.
'suspended' can be an answer for 'hung' (suspending is a kind of hanging). I'm not sure about the 'over?' bit.

'barred from school when' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is present in the answer.
'school' could be 's' and 's' is found within the answer.
'when' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for suspended that I've seen before include "In abeyance" , "Stopped for a time" , "deferred" , "Temporarily deprived of office" , "Temporarily stopped" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
