New job dilemma

Good morning, I got a new job on Thursday at an amazon school. It's a dream come true and I can honestly see myself being there for as long as they will have me (I'm not a young teacher anymore but only 35 still). The issue is I obviously don't start till September and I still need to make money till then.

I'm a supply teacher at a school that has continually messed me about regarding pay, hours, support etc. (Hence the new job) If I tell them now I have a new job they'll just cut all my supply. But my new school said I have to inform them as soon as possible I have a new job so they can issue my p45...

My new job is a permanent salaried position as English teacher not supply. Do I tell them and risk not being paid till September or do I keep quiet? As I said I owe my school nothing as they continually mess me about.

Congratulations !
can you get agency work elsewhere if they drop you once they know you are going ?

I thought about that but they've been asked three times from the agency to do a reference and the supply agency won't process my dbs till they get it 😠 I just risk them being annoyed and not doing it at all because about a third of the staff have all resigned recently. They did a reference for my new job because they said I had no chance of getting the job!

That should have been "amazing" school in my OP. I'm not moving to South America or working to teach people to pack orders for next day delivery 😝 typing whilst being a 2yo's climbing frame is tricky!

You Wont get paid for end of july and august anyway if supply surely?

You could always try to supply elsewhete, maybe even knew school?

New school. Apologies. Im still in bed.

plaintomatopasta · 21/05/2017 08:34

I would. I'd get paid at the end of July for my June days and the end of august for my July hours (it's annoying) and then paid as normal from September onwards.

My current school makes a mess of things and messes people about so they hold back pay for two months when you start and then play catchup.

Thats not holiday oay though. Thats money owed for hours worked. Youd get that regardless. Or do you mean theyd stop having you in school now, so wouldnt have any hours to get paid for?

plaintomatopasta · 21/05/2017 08:49

They'd stop giving me supply now. So if I hand my notice in tomorrow when I'm in they'll stop my days going forward so I'd only get paid at the end of June for this month now and that would be it. I need to work till the end of the year to get paid.

My school are mean and would take all my supply hours if they knew I was leaving. They already had me working January, February, march and I didn't get paid till the end of April! They said it was me earning my dbs, my introduction period and my reference check period so counted as pay for all that!
