Josey, the Indignant Daughter is a brand-new audio musical inspired by Northumberland based heroine, feminist and social reformer, Josephine Butler. Josephine Butler’s story is at the centre of a new audio musical written by singer – songwriter Katie Doherty, featuring women from across Northumberland. We take their issues and tell Josephine’s story through a modern lens, reflecting the concerns of women today. The podcast is free to download and available on all streaming sites. Josey uses binaural sound. For an optimum listening experience, we advise listening on headphones.

Josephine Butler (1828-1906) was an English feminist, social reformer and advocate for the rights of women. Now her story will be at the centre of a new audio musical written by singer – songwriter Katie Doherty, featuring the voices of women from across Northumberland.
There are so many issues – some not wholly different from those that concerned Josephine nearly 200 years ago – that women of today are passionate about and motivated to change in much the same way as Josephine Butler.
The digital venture will lead to a full live version of the musical in 2024 that November Club will work to bring to communities and venues across the North East and beyond.
Josey, the Indignant Daughter is provided free, if you would like to make a donation and help support the next stage of the work you can donate via our Just Giving Page.
Katie Said:
I am so grateful to all of the women, now and throughout history who have not held back on the causes they believe in, this includes those, of all ages who have generously and courageously spoken, shared, sung and played with us on this audio, it is much greater for you being a part of it.

In 2022, Microsoft’s Digital Defence Report estimated that cyber criminals made more than 900 attempts to hack passwords every single second – and warned that the number was on the rise. Only around a tenth of those were successful, but the business magazine Inc. nevertheless reported approximately eight million passwords being stolen each day globally. Concerning, isn’t it?
In everyday life, simplicity can be a beautiful thing. In relation to passwords, though … well, not so much. The password ‘123456’, for example, has featured in data breaches some 23 million times to date. What’s more, around five million people still – incredibly – have their password set as just ‘password’. On average, that takes a half-way competent hacker less than a second to crack.
Sports teams are also best avoided (more than 750,000 hacked UK passwords were some variation on the name of a Premier League football club), as is anything we might accidentally give clues to on social media: family members’ names and birthdays, for instance. Check out this week’s #WakeUpWednesday guide for more password pros and cons.
Thankfully, there are plenty of steps we can take to make our valuable data less accessible to prying eyes. As well as recommending password management software and multi-factor authentication, our #WakeUpWednesday guide also suggests some even easier ways to come up with different passwords that are simple to remember – but difficult to guess.
The world, sadly, is all too often an unfair place. That’s why Comic Relief annually raises both funds and awareness to combat some of modern life’s worst inequalities. Unfortunately, many of these imbalances also play out in the online space, with young internet users often attacked because of a disability, their gender or their family’s financial circumstances.
As Red Nose Day 2023 gears up to help people through difficult times and put smiles back on young faces, our #WakeUpWednesday guide this week examines how to support children in dealing with negative things they watch, hear or read online. We’ve got top tips for safe, healthy online habits that can help youngsters to take potential pitfalls in their stride.

Dear Parent / Carer,
It has been brought to our attention that there has been a mistake in our option blocks which have indicated that there is a Core ICT provision. This is not the case and we would like to offer our sincere apologies for any confusion caused by this. If students would like to continue with learning about ICT into Y10 and Y11 then they will need to choose it as their option in Block 2 (Cambridge National ICT). This mistake has now been rectified and the option form is now correct. If your child has already filled in their option blocks and now need to change as a result of this information then please ask them to see either Mrs Spratt, Ms Gatti or Mr Line and we will be happy to help.
We would also like to remind you that there is a virtual Option Support Evening on the 13th and 14th March where you can speak to a member of the options team about subject combinations if your child needs support. The link to use to make a booking through the SchoolCloud system has been sent to you in a previous correspondence.
Once again, apologies for any confusion caused by our mistake.
The Y9 Option Team
Dear Student / Parent / Carer,
Recorded below is a list of the range of weekly support sessions that we have on offer to help you to be as prepared as you can be in the run up to the final exam period in May.
These sessions are open to any student who would like support, meaning that you can drop in when you need to, unless your teacher has told you that you must attend.
There are also additional sessions for Art but these are not on a weekly basis like the sessions above. These Art sessions are all at 3-4.30 in Ar1 on the following dates: 9/3, 13/3, 23/3, 27/3
Please make use of these sessions. Many are designed for you to drop in and get support with areas of the course that you feel you need help with. If you get this support and it helps to close any gaps in your knowledge and understanding then you will be more effectively prepared for the exams in the summer. We will be offering a mini bus service to Lynemouth after a number of the sessions to support student attendance.
Revision is most effective when it is done over a long period of time. With only two whole months remaining until the start of the final exam period you should now be ready to start the revision process. Remember that the best way to revise is to follow the 3 Way Revision Process outlined below.
| 1 | Learn | Re-write or condense your class notes; Make flash cards showing the most important information; Create mind maps or flow charts of topics to show how information relates to other information. Put these sheets up around your house. |
| 2 | Revise | Go over your notes and try to further condense them; Reduce them to key words or dates or formulae; Try to copy your mind maps or flow charts from memory. Read your flash cards as often as you can |
| 3 | Test | Write one word on flash cards and try to fill in as much information as you can from memory; Do past paper questions and use the mark schemes to see how you have done; Talk to people about a topic and tell them everything that you know |
There is and will be plenty of revision material placed for you on Google Classroom and in many subjects you have use of other learning platforms such as Seneca Learning and Edi and some subjects may also provide you with revision booklets. Making use of these resources will help to make your revision easier. If you are unsure about anything then please see your teachers. They will be happy to help you.
Remember, the path to success begins with making the decision to try.
Good Luck,
Mr Line
