Like an old village school admitting young child, not old (6)
I believe the answer is:
cotted
This clue might be a double definition.
'like an old village school admitting young child' is the first definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'not old' is the second definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs occasionally mean the same thing.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
