Senior teacher takes top stream after reorganisation (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

headmaster

'senior teacher' is the definition.
(teacher in charge of a school)

'top stream after reorganisation' is the wordplay.
'top' becomes 'head' (head is a kind of top).
'after reorganisation' indicates an anagram.
'stream' anagrammed gives 'master'.
'head'+'master'='HEADMASTER'

'takes' is the link.

(Other definitions for headmaster that I've seen before include "School manager" , "Top (male) teacher" , "Principal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
