As we look ahead to welcoming everyone back after the Christmas break, the start of a new term offers a valuable opportunity for students to re-establish routines, refocus academically, and settle into a supported learning environment. At Collingham, these first few weeks are an important time to help students regain momentum and confidence as they return to their studies.
Re-establishing Routines and Healthy Study Habits
January naturally encourages new beginnings, and for many students this includes rebuilding effective study habits. We work closely with students to help them find a rhythm that balances structured revision, organised timetables, and personal wellbeing. By easing back into routines early in the term, students create a strong foundation for the weeks ahead.
A Focus on Wellbeing
Student wellbeing sits at the heart of life at Collingham. As everyone adjusts back into the pace of the new term, our pastoral team and personal tutors are available for check-ins, reassurance and guidance. Whether a student needs academic support or simply someone to talk to, we make sure they feel grounded, calm and supported both emotionally and academically.
A balanced start helps build resilience and ensures every student can thrive in the term ahead.
Goal Setting and Academic Planning
A new term also brings a valuable moment for fresh focus. Personal tutors work with each student to set clear academic goals – mapping out revision strategies, identifying key coursework milestones, and preparing for any upcoming assessments or university steps. These early conversations help students feel organised and motivated, giving them a clear direction for the months ahead.
Looking Ahead
January is an important time for building positive momentum, and at Collingham we are committed to ensuring every student begins the term feeling confident, supported and ready to achieve their best. With accessible wellbeing support and thoughtful academic planning, we look forward to a smooth and successful term for all.
