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.

○ Moderate certainty Standard uncertainty: ±1.2 points (170 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.
