The Deans Primary School
About The Deans Primary School
The Deans Primary School in Salford is a state-funded mixed primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a school capacity of 450. While the data does not specify current pupil numbers or free school meal percentages, the school’s nursery provision suggests it serves families from the earliest years. The school’s religious character is listed as ‘does not apply’, and it has no official sixth form. Demand for places is not explicitly stated in the admissions data, but the school’s Outstanding Ofsted rating — held consistently across inspections in 2013 and 2024 — typically signals strong local interest. Salford has nine Outstanding primary schools out of 75 total, placing The Deans in a select group. The nearest Outstanding alternative is Broadoak Primary School, 1.6 km away, so competition for places among these top-rated schools is likely keen.
