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.
