Dad “fines” his kids’ teachers for going on strike after being hit with £360 penalty for taking a term-time holiday

An angry dad has “fined” his kids’ teachers for going on strike after he was hit with a £360 penalty for taking a family holiday in term-time.

Wesley Joyce, 42, was fined when he took his son Jai-Jai, 15, and daughters Cleo, 13, and Hallie, five, to Turkey.

He and wife Stacey, 34, treated the family to a ten-day all-inclusive break last month during the school term.

The holiday cost £7,000 but Wesley says the same trip would have cost up to £12,000 in the school holidays.

When the family returned home to Worcester, Wesley and Stacey received a letter stating they faced a £360 fine.
