Mr Boyd was born and educated in the United Kingdom. He read History at the University of Durham and completed his PGCE at the University of Buckingham.

Outside of the classroom Mr Boyd is passionate about all sports and co-curricular involvement. He sees this an extension of the classroom and knows that these activities can help to nurture and develop pupils with diverse needs. The opportunities for personal growth, being a member of a team, leadership skills and developing resilience are invaluable in his eyes. Mr Boyd is a keen sportsman himself; he has represented Scotland on the rugby field and has also coached his country at age-grade level.
