Orderly scene a teacher takes in (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neat

'orderly' is the definition.
(I know that orderly can be written as neat)

'scene a teacher takes in' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'NEAT' is hidden in the letters of 'scene a teacher takes'.

(Other definitions for neat that I've seen before include "Shipshape" , "As whisky may be" , "Tidy, well-ordered" , "Ordered; without water" , "beef" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
