Staff and parents at Amberfield at Nacton were left shocked after Helen Kay left in mid-year after just three years at the school.
No reasons were given for her unexpected decision and staff said it was “a bit out of the blue”.
Now Amberfield School has announced the appointment of Linda Ingram, who has been serving as head of junior school, as its new headmistress, starting her role with the new term in September.
