School task carried out in prison yard? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exercise

I believe this is a double definition.

'school task' is the first definition.
(exercise in a lesson)

'carried out in prison yard?' is the second definition.
(prisoners exercise in an exercise yard)

(Other definitions for exercise that I've seen before include "Do it to get fit" , "Gym activity?" , "Use" , "School task; drill" , "Physical training or exertion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
