A deferred sentence is one whereby the judge (in a crown court), or magistrates, set a period of deferrment (maximum 6 months) following conviction to allow the convicted person to comply with certain specified requirements. After the deferrment period is complete, the convicted person returns to court for final sentence. If they have complied with the requirements successfully this can be used in mitigation thereby - in theory - providing the opportunity for a more lenient sentence.
Added: It works the same way in the US also.
