elegance

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

'class' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'key stage one accommodates new' is the wordplay.
'key' becomes 'e' (I've seen this in other clues).
'stage' becomes 'leg' ('leg' can be a synonym of 'stage').
'one accommodates new' becomes 'ance' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'e'+'leg'+'ance'='ELEGANCE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for elegance that I've seen before include "Showing good taste in dress or style" , "Fashionable grace" , "Polish - distinction" , "Chic" , "Fine quality" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
