Principal shared meat out (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

headmaster

'principal' is the definition.
(headmaster is a kind of principal)

'shared meat out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'shared'+'meat'='sharedmeat'
'sharedmeat' anagrammed gives 'HEADMASTER'.

(Other definitions for headmaster that I've seen before include "School manager" , "Principal" , "Top (male) teacher" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
