The score reflects results directly. Given the pupil intake, the school still performs in line with expectations — see value-added.
Data coverageMedium3/5
Why this score?
Skolkoll score is Skolkoll's composite indicator based on available data sources. It is not an official quality measure and should be read together with the underlying data.
3 of 5 score dimensions have school-specific data.
When school-specific data is missing for a dimension, the neutral value 50 is used. That does not automatically lower the school, but it makes the score less informative.

3 values need extra caution
This applies only to the values listed here.
This value is missing in full or in part.
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.
