To learn how to study, do this course: https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn

Then apply techniques to your subjects.

Honestly, UK sixth formers have to be the stupidest people I've ever come across, the grade boundaries for A-levels have gotten extremely low to the point I felt sickened by how much effort I put in to study when I saw the grade boundaries.

Focus on getting a gym membership and lifting, start SL 5X5 or SS, read nonfiction self improvement books, meditate, read manosphere blogs, sites, and youtube channels. Get your grades then leave school to get a STEM degree, if you're not picking a STEM degree don't bother going to university.

You motivate yourself to do well by wanting to go to university really badly. I wanted to go to university so bad, I always dreamt about it and envisioned myself going there, that was enough to get me to study.

Find a study system which works. I found studying to reach certain study goals (ie; read a chapter, write 500 words, etc) is much more effective for me than studying for a set time. Experiment with different systems and find what works for you.

The most important thing is consistency, and studying almost every day. It doesn't necessarily have to be for a long time, but a bit every day is vital. If you run out of schoolwork, read a chapter or two of a nonfiction book instead.

Migraine? No idea - go to the doctor. It is not normal to get migraines from studying.

As for motivation? Don't look for motivation to study. Decide that you'll study. Just keep doing it, and doing it, and doing it. Why study if you're going to just half-ass it? Then you can rather quit and do something more productive. But at 16 there isn't much more productive things to do really. Do good now, and it'll give you the option to set yourself up for an easy life.
