When are the teacher resignation dates?

Resignation dates and notice periods:

• To leave at the end of Term 1: Autumn Term – Notice period: Give two months’ notice, no later than 31st October.
• To leave at the end of Term 2: Spring Term – Notice period: Give two months’ notice, no later than 28th/29th February.
• To leave at the end of Term 3: Summer Term – Notice period: Give three months notice, no later than 31st May.

Upcoming Deadline

The deadline for teacher resignations can vary depending on your contract and the policies of your school or educational institution. However, in general, the UK requires teachers to give notice of resignation at least one term in advance.

This means that should you desire to leave at the end of the summer term, you would need to submit your resignation by the end of the spring term. It’s essential to check your contract and speak to your HR department or line manager to confirm the specific deadline and requirements for resigning.
