Getting on coach for Greyfriars, say (8,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boarding school

'greyfriars say' is the definition.
(Greyfriars is a fictional boarding school)

'getting on coach' is the wordplay.
'getting on' becomes 'boarding' ('board' can be a synonym of 'get on').
'coach' becomes 'school' (both can mean to teach or train).
'boarding'+'school'='BOARDING SCHOOL'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for boarding school that I've seen before include "Winchester, maybe" , "Greyfriars, maybe" , "Eton, say" , "Roedean, say" , "Winchester, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
