Narrative:
I was the captain on aircraft X parked at the gate. After the agent closed the door; the number 1 flight attendant (flight attendant) came to the cockpit and said she couldn't arm the 1R door. This we confirmed this on the door ECAM page. I went back to look at door and confirmed it wouldn't arm. I disarmed door and cycled it. The arming lever would not arm. I disarmed the door again and confirmed the arm light was not lit and the green disarmed indicator showed disarmed; not armed. Both flight attendant's in galley confirmed this. I opened the door slightly and the slide deployed. My first officer (first officer) confirmed that cockpit indicated not armed at deployment. No one was injured.
