The Glorious Twelfth

Grouse season—scholar season.

Today is a significant date in the British sporting calendar, marking the beginning of a four-month period of grouse hunting.

It’s also a special time for Twelve Scholars—as we launch our Leadership Development Programme for 2026.

Admittedly it’s a soft launch. (A very soft launch.)

The Annual Scholarship Programme is 12-week course for high potential leaders—held just once a year. And limited to 12 people—hence the name, ‘Twelve Scholars’.
