Amberfield School was a small private school in Nacton, England, coeducational up to the age of 7 years, and for girls up to the age of 16 years, which was established in 1927 and closed in 2011 due to financial problems. The last headmistress was Linda Ingram. It was set in countryside with surrounding fields and wildlife. It won the Lego League Robotics UK Championships[1] and the World Primary Robot Dance Championship held in Suzhou, China as part of RoboCup Junior in 2008.[2] The school occupied the site of Nacton Workhouse,[3] near woodland where the body of one of the victims of the Ipswich 2006 serial murders, was found.[4][5] The school was a member of the Girls' Schools Association.
