Provisional resignations

But your situation is very common, your current school will have had this countless times in the past.

Keep them updated, don't hand in anything written yet and as soon as you have the signed contract resign.

They've already advised that they want it in by today, I presume they want to be in a position to appoint my replacement asap, they can't really appoint until I've resigned as they'd potentially be doubling up on staff, as I understand it anyway?

Currently in an academy and going to a UTC. I know one of my references from a colleague is outstanding so a poor one from the school would look suspect straight away.

If I wasn't working in a school I'd just keep my head down until I had full written confirmation but my contract is different to most.

Yup - academies have really screwed up employment mobility for teachers.

Yeah, but this is an academy we're talking about and a lot of academies are run by little Hitlers with no regard to staff welfare.

Staff welfare is certainly not a priority, it's a very short sighted strategy.

Yeah - academies are rapidly becoming sink holes for poor teachers that can't get jobs elsewhere. There are still good teachers in academies, but it's becoming rarer.

The ripping up of the national pay framework and letting academies set thier own pay and conditions was supposed to enable schools to pay good teachers more but what it's done is let academies keep wages low and reduce T&C's to the bare minimum, so all the good teachers are leaving academies for LA run schools - the exact opposite of what Labour wanted when they introduced academies and what the Tories wanted when they forced more schools to become academies. Market forces operates both ways ;-)

Then again, thinking about it, that probably IS what LabCon wanted ;-)
