This place was set up seven years ago to get black boys back on the straight and narrow. We're live from here this morning to have a good look at the place and talk to pupils who come here when they've been expelled from school.

Here they believe in drills, discipline, boundaries - and they try to prepare boys "for the boardroom not the courtroom". This morning we'll ask why black boys don't do as well at school as their white counterparts, and why black boys are more likely to be excluded from school than white children?
And how does EYLA manage to get boys into Eton and rugby school? Join us at 10.

Below you can watch a clip of some of the boys practicing their drill which is part of the routine at the Academy.
