I'm in a bit of a predicament and wondered if lovely mners can help me.
In February of this year I got a new job in a new city, ready to start in september. It was to be teaching year 3. I went down to the school, planned with my new year group colleague in my own time, met with the children etc.
3 weeks ago the head called saying due to restructure, she could now only offer me a cover teacher role. She said she wanted to call me first so that I didn't just get a 'cold letter in the post', and offered me a 'get out' - I told her I would have to think about it.
ffwd three weeks - I've now secured a new job and have had the offer letter emailed to me but haven't yet had all the gumph in the post to sign it (bank holiday joy). I had heard nothing from original school since the head's phone call (no promised letter). Today I recieved an email from original school telling me when my induction day is.
My instinct is not to tell original school that I'm not joining them until the new contract with new school is signed - but am i allowed to do this? I feel massively messed around by original school and they have caused a lot of stress, especially during a relocation.
I hope this makes sense and any advice would be gratefully received!
