If it were me I would tell them what date I wanted to be my last date irrespective of the paternity leave. That way you give them the maximum notice. That puts the ball in their court. If they are happy with that then fine if they counter offer then it's up to them to tell you whether the pat leave is counted or not. If you went this route I would also make sure you include in your resignation letter that pat leave will fall between now and your final day.
Thats the kindest most responsible way to do it. All depends on your relationship with your employer.
Do you have any holiday left? If you do it might be better to give your notice in now and take your holiday instead of paternity as paternity is a measly £117 per week.
If not then you might have to give your notice in after your paternity leave, as by taking paternity leave it is assumed you will be returning to work.

My pat leave is quiet a bit more than that as my company have a policy of paying 2 weeks full pay! Holiday period has just started so my annual leave will be pro-rata down to my acrued rate. If not then you might have to give your notice in after your paternity leave, as by taking paternity leave it is assumed you will be returning to work.
Its a bit of a sticky wicket, as the company policy is to pay the enhanced rate to employees. I am leaving, but i am still covered by my contact and the company policy. So in theory i should get it but overall i think they may refuse, which i dont blame them for to be honest. But one of the reasons i am leaving is down to T&Cs and salary! To cut a long story short i have taken over a multi-million pound contract, and i am wanting a pay rise to reflect the position and responsibility i have but they have refused! I could quiet easily waste an evening talking about this but cant be bothered wasting my time on them!
As it's a bit more complicated I would call ACAS in the morning and see what they have to say.
If you give your notice in at the start of your leave, they may well be within their rights to only pay statutory pat, what are their procedures for someone that has given in their notice are they likely to put you on Gardening leave?

Gardening Leave, Another Grey Area...... If you give your notice in at the start of your leave, they may well be within their rights to only pay statutory pat, what are their procedures for someone that has given in their notice are they likely to put you on Gardening leave?
I refused a promotion in August due to the Poor salary on offer (i was approx 400 per month worse off after tax if i took the promotion), and at that grade it would be expected for them to put you on gardening leave. I will be taking up a senior management role within a rival company concentrating in Bid/business development.
If they stick me on gardening leave then there is no real problems
When do you start your new role ?
Sounds like paternity leave on FULL PAY pay is a benefit as opposed to a right ?
Can you hand in your notice once you get back from paternity leave and try and negotiate an earlier release than you notice period stipulates ?

May be a benifit and not a right, but its company policy, and in the T&Cs so if i was to leave, theni woudl still be under the contact until i leave in october, so the policy in theory should apply, even if my boss did not agree with it?Sounds like paternity leave on FULL PAY pay is a benefit as opposed to a right ?

Its still discretionary though.
When I hand in my notice, my staff discount, for example, is not longer available to me even though its in the terms and conditions of my contract.
You could force it and get what you want.
I guess the question is do you want to burn bridges or is there another way.
Resigning when you return from paternity would be best.
