About Deykin Avenue Junior and Infant School

Deykin Avenue Junior and Infant School is a popular choice among local families, with 44 applications for 21 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.1. Of those, 19 families put it as their first preference, and 19 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand suggests parents in the area see something worth pursuing, even though the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2023 rated it Inadequate overall. The previous inspection in 2019 had graded it Requires Improvement, so the direction has been downwards. Behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision were all judged Requires Improvement, while quality of education and leadership and management were rated Inadequate. It is worth noting that 62.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, which gives context to the challenges the school is working with.
