Sections in this part
ASchool Context
Key contextual information that orients CIS visitors to Woodcreek School before the Preparatory Engagement Visit. Presented as clearly and visually as possible, with descriptive text kept to a minimum. Covers the school's basic profile, learning programmes, a glossary of school-specific language, history and authorisation background, governance and ownership structure, and the regulatory environment in which the school operates in Kenya.
BCommunity Voices Showcase
A creative showcase of Woodcreek's guiding principles through the authentic voices of each community group. The purpose is to demonstrate how the school's guiding principles are lived and felt by the people within the community, and to give CIS evaluators a genuine sense of the school's unique identity and culture. Each artefact should be original and meaningful — videos, images, artwork, audio recordings, or written reflections are all welcome. One artefact per community group; maximum three minutes for video or audio, or one page for written submissions. Parental consent must be obtained before recording Early Years and Key Stage 1 children.
CCommunity Data
Data samples describing the Woodcreek learning community across four categories: the school's approach to data collection, learner data, human resources data, and community perception data including the CIS Community Survey. All data is anonymised in line with CIS data protection expectations. Where data shows a trend, the school provides brief contextual commentary to help evaluators interpret it accurately. Key data is presented visually where possible (graphs, charts) rather than as raw tables.
DLeadership Insights
A reflective response from Woodcreek School's leadership on the aims, hopes, and challenges of the upcoming CIS accreditation journey. Responds to five specific CIS reflection questions covering the school's goals for the process, how accreditation is expected to impact the community, anticipated challenges, hoped-for benefits, and what the school hopes to learn. Maximum 300 words, or an equivalent multimedia format (e.g. a recorded video, a recorded leadership conversation, or a slide deck) with a written transcript.
