Relating to one in school that’s unfriendly? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

offish

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

'unfriendly?' is the definition.
(offish can mean aloof or unfriendly)

'relating to one in school' is the wordplay.
'relating to' becomes 'of'.
'one in school' becomes 'fish' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'of'+'fish'='OFFISH'

'that's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for offish that I've seen is " Aloof, distant in manner".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
