Gathers dance must be attraction for schoolkids (8)
I believe the answer is:
tuckshop
'attraction for schoolkids' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'gathers dance' is the wordplay.
'gathers' becomes 'tucks' ('tuck' can be a synonym of 'gather').
'dance' becomes 'hop' (hop is a kind of dance).
'tucks'+'hop'='TUCKSHOP'
'must be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
