No school should be lacking shape (8)

I believe the answer is:

formless

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

'lacking shape' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'no school' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'no' could be 'o' (resembles 0 - 'no' can mean 'zero') and 'o' is found in the answer.
'school' could be 's' and 's' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'should be' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for formless that I've seen before include "Lacking shape" , "Blobby" , "Without shape" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
