School of note, in a way (4)
I believe the answer is:
eton
'school' is the definition.
(famous UK public school)
'note in a way' is the wordplay.
'in a way' indicates anagramming the letters.
'note' with letters rearranged gives 'ETON'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for eton that I've seen before include "Public school near Windsor" , "collar, perhaps?" , "School near Slough" , "Leading English public school" , "Kind of collar or jacket (worn at college?)" .)
