UK Emergency Alert Test
Published 19/04/23As you may be aware, the national UK Emergency Alert test is due to take place on Sunday 23rd April 2023. This is a test of the system which will be deployed in case of future national emergencies. It involves an automatic notification to all mobile phones, on all networks, in the form of an alert sound.
Please be aware that victims and survivors of abuse, particularly domestic abuse, may have a secret mobile phone which their abuser is not aware of. From a safeguarding perspective, the sounding of the national alert may place such individuals in danger should their abusers become aware of their secret phone.
We strongly advise that any person known or thought to be vulnerable, or who are or you suspect they may be living with an abusive partner are discretely made aware:
- that the alert will sound even if a mobile phone is switched to silent
- and how to turn off receiving the emergency alert.
If this cannot be achieved discretely you may wish to make the information generally available without raising this as a safeguarding issue.
To turn off the alert on an android phone:
- Go to settings
- Type emergency in the search bar and emergency alert should appear as an option
- Select emergency alerts
- This should take you to a page titled either emergency alerts or broadcast settings
- Click or tap on the blue toggle beside emergency alerts to switch the option off. It will turn grey, and the alert will be switched off.
To turn off the alert on an Iphone:
- Open the settings app
- Select notifications, a red square with a white bell
- Scroll down the notifications screen to the bottom to find emergency alerts
- Tap the toggles to turn the emergency alerts off. They will turn grey, and the alerts will be switched off.

Rowhill School Pupil Appreciation of Love Pop Up Shop
Published 13/03/23Rowhill School Pupil Appreciation of Love Pop Up Shop - 17th March 2023
Rowhill School, along with the Fundraising Team, will be running the popular Appreciation of Love Pop Up Shop during school lunch time on Friday 17th March.
Previous pop-up shops have always been a big success with all the pupils who have participated enjoying the experience of the “shop”. This is also a great opportunity for the pupils to purchase a gift (or more!) for someone special.
The Fundraising Team have always aimed to keep pop up shop costs as low as possible. However, we have had to slightly increase our prices due to the increased costs of purchasing stock from our stockists. Gifts will now range from £2 to £5.
If you wish for your child to participate in this event, please send your child in with funds on this day.
Rowhill School thank you for your support.
