Educated at Haileybury and at Hertford College, Oxford, where he was a Classical Exhibitioner, Toyne was a Master at Haileybury between 1906 and 1913. He was headmaster of St Peter's School, York, from 1913 to 1936, where he coached future England captain Norman Yardley, and on the staff of Bedford School between 1937 and 1945.[1][2] He was a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and published a number of books on history.
