The Deanes School is a foundation secondary school located in Thundersley, Essex, England.[1] The school takes its name from an area of forest called The Deanes Wood – so called because it was owned by the Dean of St Paul's Cathedral. West Wood, as it is now known, immediately adjoins the school to the south-east. It is now owned by Castle Point Borough Council.

In September 2013 Essex County Council announced their intention to close The Deanes School due to falling pupil numbers. There was considerable opposition to the proposed closure from local residents,[2] and in February 2014 the Schools Adjudicator ruled that the school would remain open.[3]

In February 2015 it was announced that the school had been awarded a grant from the government's priority schools building programme. The grant was used for the school science block including the ICT, arts and food technology departments.[4]
