Headteacher Richard Mercer claimed it was more cost effective than holding their meeting in Birmingham or London.
But following pressure from parents, and the media, Mr Mercer has now cancelled the trip which is estimated to have cost between £20,000 and £30,000.
It's unlikely the school will get a refund, because the trip to Spain was booked 10 months ago.

Its a 4* hotel, 137.50€ a night!

The cost of the trip has not been disclosed, but a calculation by the BBC's Midlands correspondent Fiona Trott estimated it at £18,000, based on 80 staff travelling to the Spanish city.

TALK ABOUT ESCALATING COSTS.
