Students at risk of disengaging from education have received motivational support from Luton Town FC as part of the English Football League's Week of Action.
Luton Town manager Jack Wilshere and club legend Mick Harford joined a PE lesson and answered questions from pupils at Chiltern Academy.
The initiative aims to inspire young people who may be struggling in mainstream education by helping them build confidence, resilience and essential life skills.
Wilshere said: "If there's anything we can do to give a little bit of belief to people, then of course we will."

Through one-to-one mentoring, the programme helps participants develop personal and social skills, and self-belief.
