Mrs Davis studied Geology at Bedford College, University of London, but after graduating she didn’t fancy spending her days on an oil rig, so she decided to train as a teacher. The moment she taught her first lesson, she was hooked on classroom life. Mrs Davis joined Howell’s as Deputy Principal from a large state school in London, and has been Principal since 2007. Mrs Davis’s favourite film is Gone with the Wind. She says: “I love the part when Scarlett O’Hara says ‘I’ll think about that tomorrow.’ I think sometimes that’s true – sometimes you do need to take until tomorrow to think about things. That line is something I’ve kept with me and I think about when recruiting new staff or making big decisions.”
