The most recent insolvency notice for Iona School Association is an Appointment of liquidators (CVL), published 05 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holders are Philip Harris (IP No. 23510) of FRP Advisory Trading Limited, 4th Floor, Aspect House, 84-87 Queens Road, Brighton, BN1 3XE; Nathan Jones (IP No. 9326) of FRP A, appointed 29 September 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 August 2023, showed total assets of £64k and net assets of £263k. Those accounts were filed 37 months before the first insolvency notice, so they describe the company well before the process began. Liquidation winds a company up: a licensed insolvency practitioner (the liquidator) is appointed to sell the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors in the order fixed by law, after which the company is dissolved. A creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is started by the company's own directors and shareholders once it can no longer pay its debts as they fall due.

What happens next
The liquidator realises the assets, writes to known creditors inviting claims, reports on the directors' conduct, and distributes what is recovered in the order fixed by law — costs of the liquidation, preferential creditors, secured creditors, then unsecured creditors. Claims go to the liquidator named in the notice, not to the company. The company is dissolved once the liquidation is complete.
