Dear Mr Shanks 
Clarification by way of variation to decision letter dated 29 October 2025 
King Edward VI Community College, Ashburton Road, Totnes, Devon TQ9 
5JX (“the school”) 
I refer to my letter dated 29 October 2025 (“the decision letter”), attached for 
ease at the Annex of this letter. 
In order to clarify the position with regard to the requisite valuation referred to 
at Condition a) of the decision letter, this letter varies that condition so it reads 
as follows: 
“a) that the sale price is no less than the estimated market value of the land 
confirmed by an up to date red book valuation, or RICS qualified surveyor’s 
letter (if appropriate), dated within 6 months of the sale date; and” 
The remainder of the decision letter remains as drafted. 
Yours sincerely Signed in my capacity as G6 official acting for and on behalf of the Secretary 
of State for Education (Estates Legal, Land and Planning)
