When should I start? 

Making decisions about where and when to relocate can be tricky. It’s important to be aware of the English school term times, (they are likely out of sync with your school terms) so you need to consider when you will resign from your current teaching job to be available to start at your new school. It’s ideal to start in England at the beginning of September (when the school year starts) or January.
