School -- first place for violent revolt (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

putsch

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

'school first place' is the wordplay.
'school' becomes 'sch'.
'first' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'place' becomes 'put' ('put' can be a synonym of 'place').
'sch' after 'put' is 'PUTSCH'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for putsch that I've seen before include "Coup dtat" , "Revolutionary uprising" , "Violent attempt to seize power" , "political revolt" , "A sudden political rebellion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
