Where a noted lot get educated (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eton

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

'where a noted' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'lot get educated' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'lot' could be 'ton' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'ton' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eton that I've seen before include "School - note (anag)" , "Posh English school of note" , "British public school of note" , "Public school founded by Henry VI" , "Famous college" .)
