At Collingham, success is defined by much more than exam results. The school’s philosophy is built around nurturing confident, compassionate young people who are equipped for both academic achievement and personal fulfilment.
In a world where students often feel pressure to perform, Collingham stands out for its calm, supportive atmosphere and its commitment to wellbeing at every stage. From personalised tutoring and small class sizes, to a strong sense of community and a balanced approach to student life, wellbeing isn’t an add-on at Collingham, it’s part of everyday life.
A personal approach: the power of one-to-one support
One of the most distinctive features of Collingham is its personal tutor system. Every student is assigned a personal tutor who meets with them weekly, ensuring that academic progress and emotional wellbeing are tracked together.
These meetings provide space to reflect on goals, discuss challenges, and celebrate achievements. Tutors act as mentors and advocates, they know each student individually and are a consistent point of contact for both students and parents.
This holistic relationship means that wellbeing isn’t left to chance. Whether it’s guidance on study skills, help with motivation, or pastoral support through a difficult time, students know they have someone who listens and cares.
Beyond the classroom: enrichment and balance
Collingham believes that wellbeing flourishes when students engage with life beyond the textbook. The college offers a wide range of clubs, enrichment opportunities and excursions designed to broaden horizons and build confidence.
Whether it’s debating, theatre, music, volunteering, or cultural trips across London, students are encouraged to explore their interests and develop new passions. These experiences help create balance, supporting both mental and emotional health.
