Merit value vs. expected (SALSAStatistical model adjusting results for student demographics)

SALSA compares the school's actual merit value with a modelled value based on pupil composition. School year 2024/25.

✓ High certainty Standard uncertainty: ±0.8 points (320 pupils)
Large school — the SALSA score is statistically stable.

SALSA measures relative performance — not absolute school quality. The model explains approx. 53% of variation; the rest depends on factors like leadership, teaching, resources and pupil selection not captured by the model.
