Forename for a school head and artist? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sandra

'forename' is the definition.

'a school head and artist?' is the wordplay.
'head' suggests taking the first letters.
'artist?' becomes 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
The first letter of 'school' is 's'.
's'+'and'+'ra'='SANDRA'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sandra that I've seen before include "girl" , "woman's name" , "Girl's name" , "So woman" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
