Robin Dyer

Robin Ian Henry Benbow Dyer (born 22 December 1958)[1] is a schoolmaster and former English cricketer who was, until December 2022, the Headmaster of Ampleforth College, a co-educational Catholic boarding school in North Yorkshire.

Dyer was born in Hertford. He was educated at West House School, Birmingham (1966 - 1972) before moving to Wellington College (Sep 1972 - Dec 1977) where he captained the College cricket team.

Heading to Durham University (Collingwood College) in 1978, he again captained the cricket team, having already made appearances for the Warwickshire 2nd XI.[2] He graduated from Durham in 1981 with a degree in Politics.[3]

He appeared in 65 first-class matches as a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm medium pace. He scored 2,843 runs, making three first-class hundreds and 18 fifties, with a highest score of 109*. He took no wickets (albeit, with a best performance of none for 2) and held 39 catches.[4]

In one day cricket, he played 42 matches for Warwickshire, making one century and two scores of fifty, and played in the 1984 Benson & Hedges Cup final at Lord's, when Warwickshire lost to Lancashire.[5]

After leaving Warwickshire in 1986 Dyer became a schoolmaster, returning to his alma mater Wellington College to teach Politics. He was a Housemaster there from 1990 to 2002 and was promoted to Second Master in 2002, continuing until 2019 and serving as Acting Master in the Michaelmas term of 2005 and again in the Lent term of 2014. He worked on the project to create Wellington College International Tianjin and its sister schools in Shanghai and also on the partnership with the Wellington College Academy. He was also in charge of the cricket 1st XI from 1989 to 2003.[citation needed]

In July 2019, Dyer retired from Wellington College after some 33 years, but was promptly appointed as Headmaster of Ampleforth College[6][7] - an appointment that would necessitate him steering the College through turbulent times.[8] With the turnaround completed in November 2022,[9] he retired in December 2022.
