Tells how school is organized, perhaps (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

informs

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tells' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'school is organized perhaps' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'school' could be 's' and 's' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'inform' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'how' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for informs that I've seen before include "Shops" , "peachs" , "Notifies" , "Tells" , "Imparts knowledge" .)
