Scullard was educated at Highgate School and then at St John's College, Cambridge. He taught as tutor and reader at New College London from 1935 to 1959, then became Professor of Ancient History at King's College London until his retirement in 1970.
Scullard wrote chapters for the re-edition of The Cambridge Ancient History during his retirement. His contributions to volumes VII and VIII were published posthumously, appearing after his death on the 31st of March 1983.
His father was Herbert Hayes Scullard, a minister, and his mother was Barbara Louisa Dodds. Scullard was born in Bedford, England.
Scullard won the Thirlwall Prize for an essay written during his student years. This was among the first works to appear under his name in print.
