Campus and Facilities

Our campus is located on the grounds of one of Liverpool’s most prestigious and long-standing

schools, in the welcoming surroundings of the city’s southern suburbs. As well as a relaxing

setting and plenty of outdoor space for students to enjoy, the centre of Liverpool can be easily

reached in just 15 minutes.

The campus is fully self-contained and home to a superb range of facilities, including:

- Well-equipped, modern classrooms - Student common room with Wi-Fi access

- School shop - Tennis courts and playing fields

- All-weather sports pitch - Sports hall

- Theatre - Cafeteria

Accommodation

The high-quality boarding houses we use are modern and extremely comfortable. What’s more,

student rooms are all ensuite, making for an even more enjoyable stay. Students mainly stay in twin

rooms, with some in singles, and girls and boys stay in separate sections of our accommodation, all

of which is secure and can only be accessed by Your English Summer staff.

Meals

We serve 3 meals a day in our fantastic, on-site cafeteria where students can choose from a range of

hot and cold as well as vegetarian options, we can also cater to other specific dietary requirements.

In addition to this, we provide free drinks, fresh fruit and snacks during breaks and in the evening

before bed, plus students have access to the school shop which has a range of healthy snacks and a

few sweet treats for sale.

Campus Location

Our campus is very easy to reach from numerous UK international airports, Liverpool being the

closest (15 min), followed by Manchester (40 min) and Heathrow (3 hours 30 min).

All travel to and from the UK must be booked and paid for independently and is not included in the

course fees. Once you have booked travel we kindly ask you to provide us with the details as soon as

possible should you require a transfer to the school.

Travel

Transfer service - we offer a student transfer

service by coach to and from Liverpool and

Manchester airports which is available between

09:00 and 17:00.

When students land, a member of the Your English

Summer team will be waiting to ensure their safe

arrival and journey to the school. Likewise, any

students with a departure transfer will be

accompanied to the airport by a member of staff

who will assist them with check-in and wait until

they are safely through airport security.

For any students travelling alone, we recommend

that you request the “Unaccompanied Minor”

service from the airline directly. That way a

member of airline staff will bring the child through

to arrivals where they will meet our staff.

For any arrivals or departures before 09:00, after

17:00 or from other airports, we can arrange a taxi

transfer, please contact us by email for more

information.

Parents and relatives are of course also welcome

to drop off or collect children. Where this is the

case, we ask that you arrive at the school between

10:00 and 17:00. We will also request the name of

any individuals who will be collecting a student

from the school.

Writing Everyday English

The advantages of studying on our General English course go way beyond higher grades and a better

overall performance at school.

One of our greatest assets is the multinational character of the groups on

our course and the level of cultural exchange between students. This

creates the perfect context to discuss and debate ideas in class, exposing

students to new perspectives, giving them a greater awareness of

international issues and broadening their horizons.

As a result, in addition to helping students strengthen their study skills,

English language and self-confidence, our course fuels students’ personal

development, helping them prepare for future experiences.

Course Extras

One-to-one conversation booster

Extra one-to-one conversation practice with a

native speaker can be an excellent way to

make even faster progress towards fluency

and develop natural sounding English. These

sessions can be booked in addition to the

General English course for up to 4 hours per

week. Please contact us for more information

or visit our website.

Exam preparation

If you have an important exam on the

horizon such as IELTS or PET our teaching

team can offer specialist assistance and help

you get ready. Exam preparation classes can

be booked in addition to the General English

course for up to 4 hours a week. Please

contact us for more information or visit our

website.

Welfare and Supervision

The wellbeing and safety of the students staying with us is our absolute priority.

For this reason, all of our friendly and attentive staff have previous experience of working with young

students, which is invaluable when it comes to understanding the summer school dynamic. To ensure

students are well looked after, every member of our team plays a part in our proactive approach to

supervision and is given additional child safeguarding and welfare training. This way we can make

every effort to anticipate potential issues and offer extra support if necessary.

There will also be a first aid-trained member of staff on site at all times or accompanying students on

all excursions.

safeguarding and promoting the welfare

of children. We have a comprehensive
