As far as I'm aware most teachers' contracts require one term's notice, which would take your son-in-law to Xmas.

Does anyone have any knowledge of the law applied to teacher's resignation? My son in law wanted to work flexitime to help with childcare. This was turned down in spite of being allowed for several women teachers. He has now been offered a job at another school which will give him flexitime and also £3,000 more a year. Apparently if he resigns now his current school want him to work till Christmas. Does anyone know if they can enforce this or what action they can take if he did just leave?
