Thanks for your help!

Thank you, PsyGuy. The legal requirement is 60 days here, but I will give notice well before that either way. My preference would be to tell them in September that I will be leaving once the school year is over, but I didn't know if that was frowned upon and I should wait until I receive my statement of intent. I have a good relationship with the Head, so I would like to have a reference from him before I start my job hunt.

I came to international schools from the corporate world, and the hiring/giving notice process is very different - I have never given notice prior having another job lined up, so I want to be sure I understand the process before I do anything.

I was a local hire at my current school, so I never went through the usual international recruitment process. I am 99% certain I will be leaving at the end of the 2023/2024 school year because we will need to move for my husband's job.

Do people normally wait until they are required to sign their statement of intent before they give their notice? That is November at my school. Or should I do it at the start of the year so I can get a reference from my Head before I start applying elsewhere? Is there any particular reason to do one or the other?
