Your English Summer 2018 Your English Summer 2018
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.

Course Benefits

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

website.

our English course with
the activities we run and

means that students will

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
Your English Summer is committed to
safeguarding and promoting the welfare
of children. We have a comprehensive
Safeguarding and Child Protection policy
and procedures in place which all
employees, volunteers and contractors
are expected to adhere to.

during the summer about anything at all,
you can reach a member of the Your
