Prosper in good school (3,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

get on

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

'good school' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'school' becomes 'eton' (famous UK public school).
'g'+'eton'='GET ON'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for get on that I've seen before include "Make progress or climb aboard" , "Enjoy harmonious relationship" , "Make progress; be friends" , "fare" , "Obtain promotion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
