In this paper we obtain the blow-up rate for positive solutions of $u_t= u_xx -\lambda u^p $, in $(0,1) \times (0,T)$ with boundary conditions $ u_x (1,t) = u^q (1,t)$, $u_x (0,t) =0$. If $p<2q-1$ or $p=2q-1$, $0<\lambda
, we find that the behaviour of $u$ is given by $ u(1 ,t) \sim (T-t)^-\frac12(q-1)$ and, if $\lambda<0$ and $p \ge 2q-1$, the blow up rate is given by $ u(1 ,t) \sim (T-t)^-\frac1p-1$. We also characterize the blow-up profile in similarity variables.
