School pupil with limited authority (7)

I believe the answer is:

prefect

(Other definitions for prefect that I've seen before include "Pupil with authority" , "Senior pupil with powers" , "School senior" , "Schoolchild given authority over others" , "governor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
