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. Small school — the SALSA score may vary significantly between years.

⚠ Low certainty Standard uncertainty: ±1.7 points (80 pupils)
Small schools (<100 pupils) have high uncertainty — the SALSA score may vary significantly between years.

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.
