Reveal information, having left school (3,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

let on

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

'left school' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'school' becomes 'eton' (famous UK public school).
'l'+'eton'='LET ON'

'having' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for let on that I've seen before include "Divulge information" , "Pretend, feign" , "Tell me" , "Be revealing" , "Pretend informally or permit to board" .)
