Pupils who are annoyed with their head teacher will have the right to make a complaint under new rules announced by education minister Ed Balls.
And former pupils will be able to make a complaint within 12 months of leaving school.
The new rules say that parents or pupils will be able to take issues about discipline, the curriculum or the way the school is run up with the Local Government Ombudsman if they have previously complained to the governors.
