They are based on the life and teaching of Jesus found in the Bible, but offer a foundation for life together that embraces those of all faiths and none. Self-discipline We must try to live our lives with high values and sound judgment. We should be organised in our work and life, taking pride in what we do. In our work we should try hard and to not give up. We are each responsible for our own learning. “God did not give us a spirit that makes us afraid but a spirit of power and love and self-discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7) Respect To respect means to value each member of our community equally, whatever our background, culture, race or religion. We show respect to ourselves as well as to others in the way we speak to each other. “Show proper respect to everyone” (1 Peter 2:17) Love Love means showing understanding, friendship, kindness and good-will. A loving community is one where each member seeks to put others first before themselves. “Jesus said, ‘Love one another as I have loved you’” (John 13:34) Hope Hope means feeling positive about the future. Through all that we are and do as a community we create hope for the future together. “We are hoping for something we do not have yet, and we are waiting for it patiently” (Romans 8:25) Honesty Being honest means choosing not to lie, steal, cheat or deceive in any way, as all these things destroy trust within the community. Honesty builds your strength of character and integrity. “Tell each other the truth, because we are all parts of the same body” (Ephesians 4:25) Forgiveness To forgive means to pardon someone. We all at times need to say sorry and to be able to forgive. “Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us” (Matthew 6:12) Compassion Being compassionate means showing kindness and respect and giving support to one another. We seek to be compassionate to all, but especially to those who are weaker, who need help through difficult times or who are new to our community. “Be kind and compassionate to one another” (Ephesians 4:32) St Mary's Church, Chesham, of the Parish of Great Chesham support our staff and students spiritually. We are a Church of England Academy in the Oxford Diocese.
