This map shows you every foundation school, shaded by UKFPO's first-choice ratio for the last three cycles or by average rent. Press a school for its programmes, groups, trusts, sites, specialties and rents. Oriel runs a group stage for every school in England, Scotland and Wales, where applicants preference groups before programmes; Northern Ireland has none.
Applicants who put the school first for every place, UKFP 2026: fewer more.

Everything else on this page is counted from the programme lists the foundation schools published on Oriel for the 2026 cycle, 18 schools and 1,067sites in all. They are rough figures, not the schools' or UKFPO's, and lists change after publication. They are here to help you look, not to rank from: do your own checks against Oriel and the foundation school before you preference a programme.
