Where E is given in senior course (6)

I believe the answer is:

afters

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

'course' is the definition.
(afters can mean dessert, a course of a meal)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for afters that I've seen before include "Informal desserts, puddings" , "Sweet course" , "Strafe with desserts" , "food for pudding" , "Pud" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
