Before BGS
Dyson was educated at Wellingborough Grammar School from 1887. In 1894 he went up to St John's College, Cambridge from which he graduated three years later, being the first junior optime in the mathematical tripos, and proceeded to his master's degree in 1902. Following brief assistant masterships at Stubbington House School, Fareham (Hampshire), Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Faversham (Kent) and Wyggeston School, Leicester, he returned to Wellingborough Grammar School, where he remained as housemaster and senior mathematical master, until he moved to Boston.

In June 1919 it was announced that Dyson had been appointed, from 158 applicants, to be headmaster of Ripon School, "one of the foremost schools in the country", wrote "The Sentinel", who, in emphasising Boston's loss, said Dyson was going at a "critical juncture of its school's career... just on the rising tide of the school's good fortune".
