Can I enter the UK before my student visa as a Canadian citizen?

I am a Canadian citizen. I've been living with my English partner for the last two years in Canada and I have officially been accepted to an English University for a 1 year masters degree starting September 2021. I will be applying for a Tier 4 UK study visa, but I was hoping to move to the UK in July 2021 to stay with my partner's family for around 60 days before school starts. The student visa says that you are only allowed to enter the UK a month before your studies start, but I know that Canadian citizens don't need a visa to enter the UK as a tourist/visitor. Will I be okay to go in July and stay in the UK for the duration of my student visa afterwards? Thank you so much in advance for your help!
