Taken in by report of British public school (5)
I believe the answer is:
eaten
'taken in by' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'report of british public school' is the wordplay.
'report of' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (how it\'d sound if reported).
'british public school' becomes 'eton' (I've seen this in another clue).
'eton' is a homophone of 'EATEN'.
(Other definitions for eaten that I've seen before include "absorbed in the system" , "courses enjoyed?" , "Crammed" , "Polished off" , "corroded" .)
