This affects
- Certified teachers
- Group name
- SALSA score
- This staffing metric is affected by FTE definitions, local reporting practices, and temporary vacancies.
- Annual reports are not real-time data, so group links may lag behind reorganisations or recent ownership changes. Manual overrides are used only as exceptions.
- SALSA is model-based and becomes less stable for small pupil groups or schools with rapidly changing pupil composition.
Other values here do not have this specific note.
