I have been at my current job for 8 months. But I've had no probationary period review meeting. Below is what my contract states for probationary period and notice. I would like to leave this job asap. If I'm still in the probationary period it states I can leave with one weeks notice. Do you also read this as I do?

Probationary period 
Employment is subject to the satisfactory completion of 6 months probationary period. The company reserves the right to extend this period as appropriate. The probationary period will come to an end only when confirmed at a final probationary review meeting. Please note that in some circumstances this meeting may take place after the probationary period. 

For the avoidance of doubt, this does not form part of your terms and conditions of employment. 

During probation, or any extension to probation. The notice period from the company to terminate your employment will be as follows 

Up to 1 weeks service - no notice is required from either employer or employee 

Up to 2 months service - 1 weeks notice required from employee, no notice required from employee 

Over 1 months service - 1 week required from either employer or employee. 

Notice 
Should you wish to terminate your employment with the company, you are required to give the company written notice of not less than 4 weeks. 

Similarly, after the probationary period, should the company wish to terminate your employment, if you have been employed for more than 6 months, you will be given notice of not less than 4 weeks or in accordance with statutory legislation, whichever is greater.
