Basic Sky Sports for school infirmaries? (4-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sick-bays

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'school infirmaries?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'basic sky sports' is the wordplay.
'sports' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'sporting' mean this).
'basic'+'sky'='basicsky'
'basicsky' with letters rearranged gives 'SICK-BAYS'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for sick-bays that I've seen is " Compartments or sections for the ill".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
