What the records show
DURHAM EDUCATION LIMITED is a private limited company incorporated on 3 September 2024, with its registered office in Leeds. Companies House lists its business as pre-primary education, primary education and general secondary education. Its next accounts, due by 31 August 2026, are overdue.
On 10 July 2026 The Gazette published a notice headed “Appointment of Administrators”, naming Philip Watkins of FRP Advisory Trading Limited.
In the 12 months before its first insolvency notice, Companies House recorded 4 directors leaving (latest 23 June 2026), 3 directors appointed and a change of registered office on 10 March 2026. It has 1 serving director.
An administrator's first aim, under the Insolvency Act 1986, is rescuing the company as a going concern; if that is not reasonably practicable, a better result for creditors than an immediate winding-up; and failing both, realising property to pay secured or preferential creditors. Source
