✓ High certainty Standard uncertainty: ±0.5 points (790 pupils)
Large school — the SALSA score is statistically stable.

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.
