Tom Brown’s Schooldays relates the career of its eponymous hero at Rugby, from his first arrival to the last match he played. In the intervening time, Tom and his friends East and Arthur have various adventures, many centring around their opposition to the school bully Flashman. Flashman, a coward, braggart, bully and drunkard, sums up many of the things which Hughes felt were wrong about public schools. His rise to power, and eventual expulsion, seem to carry more weight than a reader would expect from the character of an individual schoolboy.

When Tom Brown left the wilderness he knew so well, he set out to find people who were interested in the skills he had developed through first-hand experience with nature. He met with little success, but eventually he was called on to locate a missing person, and since then he has been widely known as "the Tracker". Building upon this reputation, Brown developed his profession as a full-time tracker by locating lost persons, dangerous animals and fugitives from the law.

The boy in question is the Tom Brown of the title, and the story follows him from his early life, through his attendance at the Rugby public school. Brown transfers to Rugby from a local village school after an epidemic strikes. He is only eleven when he enters Rugby, and he arrives at midterm making his transition into school life at the boarding school even more difficult than it was for most. The story follows him through his graduation. Brown's life after Rugby is chronicled in Hughes' book, Tom Brown at Oxford.
