Groups

Oriel runs a group stage for every school in England, Scotland and Wales, where applicants preference groups before programmes; Northern Ireland has none. How the whole process runs.

There are 4 groups in this school. This is the grouping system, by the programmes each group holds.

  • Severn North204
  • Severn South188
  • Specialised Foundation Programme15
  • Foundation Priority Programme2

Local policy, pre-allocation and linked applications

Parents or guardians of children under 18, applicants with a confirmed occupational health recommendation and evidenced exceptional circumstances are matched to programme level; other pre-allocated applicants are matched to the North or South group only.

Links hold only up to the group match, and only if both applicants rank the groups in exactly the same order.

Linked medical schools: University of Bristol.

Places it covers include Bath, Bristol, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Swindon, Taunton, Weston-super-Mare, Yeovil; UKFPO says the list is not exhaustive. Source: UKFPO, Severn Foundation School, read 14 September 2026.

Rank Severn's 409 programmes

Programmes, groups, trusts, sites and specialties are counted from each foundation school's latest published list, 10,655 programmes in all: the 2026 cycle lists on Oriel, except East of England, KSS, LNR, London, Northern Ireland, Oxford (Thames Valley), Severn, Trent, Wales, Wessex, West Midlands Central, West Midlands North, West Midlands South and Yorkshire and Humber, counted from the 2027 to 2029 lists those schools have published; the ratios are UKFPO's, the rents the ONS's for the region a school sits in, the pint prices Finder's, each named beside its figure, and every source is listed below. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. These are rough figures, not the schools' or UKFPO's, and lists change after publication: do your own checks against Oriel and the foundation school before you preference a programme. Doctor Devify Ltd accepts no responsibility for a decision made on these figures.
