Student granted additional responsibility (7)

I believe the answer is:

prefect

(Other definitions for prefect that I've seen before include "Student monitor" , "French official and senior pupil" , "Pupil with authority" , "Chief officer (in France) - senior pupil" , "School authority" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
