You are landing at Liverpool Airport. There will be a coach waiting outside ready to bring you to York. The journey will take around 3 hours.
Please make sure you collect your luggage. If any is missing, you must complete a missing luggage form before leaving the security area. There won't be any stops on the way to York, so make sure you use the toilets at the airport if you need them!
They are looking forward to welcoming you.

Your families will collect you from our pick-up point and take you home. Before you go, we will give you your College ID card and a bus pass if you need one.
We will keep the families updated about your flight and journey, so they will be there to meet you as soon as possible! Make sure to double check that you've got the right luggage to take away with you and don't leave anything on the coach!
Staying safe and speaking English
You have a great opportunity to practice your English and make the most of your homestay experience!
Evenings are a great time to get to know your host family and spend time using your English with them.
You must be at home.
Your teachers will set a rule for what time you need to be home.
The curfew times exist to keep you safe. Please make sure you always follow this rule so that your teachers, host families and Melton College staff know you are safe and do not need to worry about you.
Travelling safely
25th March 2025 at 09:00
Your host family will show you how to come to the College, or they might bring you themselves. If you need one, there will be a First York bus pass on the back of your Melton College ID Card. Just show this to the driver as you get on the bus.
Remember, in England we drive on the left so be very careful crossing roads! Use a Pedestrian Crossing, if possible!
