The new headteacher at Cedars Park Primary school in Stowmarket says she wants to do the "very best" for pupils as she promises to push on with improvements.
Aisha Suhail, has been deputy head at the school on the Cedars Park estate for five years, having previously worked at nearby Bacton Primary School.
"It felt like the natural next step for me, and I feel so proud to work in such a great team which has the interests of our children, their parents and our community at heart.
"I really want to strengthen ties between our school and the local community."
Miss Suhail, who enjoys baking in her spare time, describes herself as being a "creative person" and loves how children at the school use their imagination in different ways.
She added: "They come to school every day so eager to learn. We all want to do the very best for them and their families.
