Nearer the top of the class (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

upper

This clue is a double definition.

'nearer the top' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the class' is the second definition.
(upper class is a kind of class)

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for upper that I've seen before include "catcher of swans?" , "Amphetamine pill" , "Higher; more northerly" , "The higher of two, berths perhaps" , "Higher; part of shoe" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
