Pulpit used by Uppingham boys (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ambo

'pulpit' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'used by uppingham boys' is the wordplay.
'used by' indicates a hidden word.
'AMBO' is hidden within 'uppingham boys'.

(Other definitions for ambo that I've seen before include "Where the preacher stood" , "Early Christian pulpit" , "desk" , "Raised pulpit" , "Old reading-desk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
