Those at the end of term? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

them

'those' is the definition.

'at the end of term?' is the wordplay.
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'end of' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'term' is 'm'.
'the' put next to 'm' is 'THEM'.

(Other definitions for them that I've seen before include "Others" , "Certainly not us, the other lot" , "... in another case, they" , "Perhaps, the Opposition" , "(To/from) those people" .)
