Latest Enrichment Topic
The purpose of Crosby’s Enrichment Learning Topics:
The Crosby Enrichment Learning Topics encompass a wide range of subjects and topics that are selected to enhance the apprentices learning experience beyond the apprenticeship standard curriculum.
These subjects and topics can include academic enrichment, cultural experiences and capital, personal development, current affairs, the exploration of British Values and UK Law and statutory legislation.

Enrichment Calendar
As part of our Enrichment Programme, we offer sessions that go beyond the standard curriculum, giving you opportunities to develop your skills, explore new topics, and gain insights that can be applied straight into your workplace.
Most Crosby Enrichment Programme activities are free to access; however, some opportunities, such as the Embrace the Adventure residential, may require a financial contribution. Where cost may present a barrier, apprentices can find out more about support available through Crosby’s Enrichment Programme Hardship Fund.
This calendar is republished every 3 months.
Below you will find the September to November calendar details.
