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

○ Moderate certainty Standard uncertainty: ±1.1 points (180 pupils)
Medium-sized school — the SALSA score is reasonably stable but individual cohorts can have an impact.

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. Independent schools with selective admissions may show higher SALSA scores without necessarily better teaching.
