Dear Mr McGuire,
Mr Ashcroft has informed me that there is some misunderstanding with regards to bursary
and 'ring fenced'funds used to purchase the equipment identified on the 'Costs of Course'.
Can you please clarify for Mr Ashcroft if the funds used to purchases the course
equipment were from his bursary funds, which he claims are solely for the students.
Further, Mr Ashcroft claims that each student in his course still has a total of f171.83 left
unspent for their 'Cost of Course' funds. ls it the case that this money will be returned to
the student? lf it is not the case can you please provide Mr Ashcroft with information
regarding this fund.
Mr Ashcroft has additionally asked as to why the students did not receive the tool box/kit
for employment beyond their courses. Ms Ashcroft has stated that students have been
refused to take these course equipment items home.
Further, Mr Ashcroft has expressed his concern with New College purchasing these items
I would appreciate if you could ensure that attention was given to this matter, and that all
relevant information is made available to Mr Ashcroft.
Yours sincerely
