Batch of trainees at the point of arrival (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intake

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

'batch' is the definition.
(I have seen 'batch of students' mean 'intake' so perhaps 'batch' could also mean 'intake')

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for intake that I've seen before include "Consumption" , "Number of acceptances as in school" , "Body of new pupils" , "Fresh pupils" , "(Quantity of) new students accepted by school" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
