grammar school

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

'are learnt?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'place where linguistic rules' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'place' could be 'school' (I have seen 'Place of learning' mean 'school' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'school') and 'school' is located in the answer.
'rules' could be 'grammar' (I've seen this before) and 'grammar' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for grammar school that I've seen before include "Educational establishment" , "Teaching establishment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
