The King Alfred School was set up by married couple Hayley and Tom Bowen back in 2021, with nine pupils initially enrolled including their son, Henry.
It aims to deliver a private education at a reduced cost, with parents asked to pay £6,000 per child per year.
The school currently teaches children aged between three and 13 in small class sizes and following a classical curriculum, inspired by works from writers including Shakespeare and Charles Dickens.
Since opening, it has operated out of an old Sunday school building in Lake Street, but with 26 pupils now on roll, is at capacity.
