No.9 Boys' House
After graduating in Economics from the LSE, Paul Wickes worked in Portugal and Spain for six years where he set up and managed a successful language institute. He joined the College in 2006 to teach Economics and became Housemaster of No.9 in 2007.
Paul speaks Portuguese and Spanish and practises Taekwon-Do in which he has competed at a high level, winning bronze in the London Open in 2000. He also enjoys football, rugby and cricket and is an enthusiastic supporter of school sport. He encourages all boys in No.9 to participate in house and school games to the best of their ability.
Paul and his wife Michelle have two young daughters, Savannah and Amelie, and believe a boarding house should be run as an extended family where boys have a strong sense of mutual care and belonging. Paul’s philosophy is to produce polite, well -rounded young men who aspire to fulfil their potential by making the most of their individual talents.

Civic Society dedicates a plaque to Dr A P Rowe
On Friday the 16th May Malvern's Civic Society unveiled a plaque placed near the main doorway of House No.9, in memory of Dr A P Rowe the revered scientist who introduced Radar for use in the guidance of aircraft in the Second World War. Dr Rowe had strong associations with Malvern College, he lived in House No.9 during the time the school was used for scientific research and he returned to teach at the College at the end of his long and illustrious career.
Dr Ernest Putley spoke about Dr Rowe's career and
Acting Head Sarah Welch spoke on behalf of the College.
"Dr A P Rowe’s association with Malvern College is a source of great pride to us. He first came here when the Telecommunications Research Establishment moved to Malvern in 1942. In 1958, after a distinguished scientific career, he returned as a part time teacher. Finally, he was appointed a governor of the College in 1972. In his address at Dr Rowe’s memorial service following his death in 1976, J A Ratcliffe praised him not only for his contribution to science but his promotion of discussion and argument: his famous Sunday Soviets saw Air Force officers and scientists in free-for-all discussions about what the Air Force needed and what the scientists thought was possible.
I am sure Dr Rowe would be pleased to know that the Sixth Form Room at the top of the tower is now the regular venue for debating competitions and lively argument is alive and well there. He would also, I am certain, be delighted that science is thriving in the College curriculum even if it is in decline nationally. This summer, we will be fitting out an extra Physics laboratory to accommodate expanding numbers of pupils who opt for the subject. It is our great pleasure, therefore, to see this plaque unveiled here at No 9 where Dr Rowe once lived, to mark his long association with the College and to inspire scientists of the future".
