About Nyman Coaching Associates

Catherine Nyman

Nyman Coaching Associates was founded by Catherine Nyman based on a robust 33-year tenure in the education sector.

She has specialized in fostering school improvement and leadership, along with strategic planning. Catherine has implemented dynamic Literacy practices and adeptly utilised PPG, led vibrant teams across schools and regions, and acted as an interim HT for struggling institutions. Her collaborations extend to schools, LA’s, Academy teams, and other leadership that craves growth and challenge.

At the core of Catherines’ work, children and their experiences take precedence. Having concentrated on continuing professional development and coaching for the past 15 years, she wears the hats of both a practicing coach and a coach trainer. When combined with a deep understanding of Literacy and SEN/SEND issues, she is devoted to closing the attainment gap.

My mission in education is fueled by a profound passion to transform lives and make a significant difference.

This is what people say about working with us

To provide effective outcome driven support, you need a person that not only understands the National picture and where your school fits within it, but more importantly, someone who quickly assesses the school’s culture, and works with it. Catherine excels with this. She has never lost sight of what we believe and value in our school, whilst working with us to develop and progress. Catherine has provided us with an honest evaluation of how we are performing and, more importantly, where we are improving as a school.  With a strong focus on the key use of evaluative language, Catherine has refocused our senior and middle leaders in a way which helps us to understand what is working well, whilst allowing us build from positions of strength. Not your average advisor, be prepared to be challenged but ultimately enthused to make those vital next steps.
