West Brom players go back to school

Shane Long and Jonas Olsson teamed up to launch a new Albion project designed to boost attendance for schoolchildren.

The Albion Foundation has formed a partnership with the Premier League Community Fund, Sandwell Council and four secondary schools.

The Triple A project works with Alexandra High School in Tipton, The Phoenix Collegiate, Wednesbury, St Michaels High School, Rowley Regis, and Bristnall Hall Technology College, Oldbury.

An 'Albion Attendance Coach' is based at each school for two days a week helping to run projects that encourage pupils with poor attendance records into school.
