admissions

'new students' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'teacher has said no running around' is the wordplay.
'teacher has' becomes 'miss' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'running' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters run around to different places).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'said'+'no'='saidno'
'saidno' with letters rearranged gives 'adions'.
'miss' going within 'adions' is 'ADMISSIONS'.

'for' is the link.
