At William Ford, we believe every child deserves more than a good education. They deserve opportunities that build confidence, character and hope for the future. Across our school you'll find a range of provision that goes beyond the classroom, each one designed to help pupils be successful, healthy, fulfilled and empowered to make a difference.

From cooking real meals to running their own community cafe, from taking on careers through our Mantle of the Expert curriculum to making a genuine difference in Dagenham, our pupils are given real responsibility and real experiences. This is where confidence is built, skills are practised, and children begin to see the future they could have.
