Bishop Rawstorne Church of England Academy (formerly Bishop Rawstorne CofE Language College) is a coeducational secondary school with academy status situated in the village of Croston, Lancashire, England.

[1] The school was awarded a DfES Teacher Training rating in late 2000 by the then Secretary of State for Education, David Blunkett MP.

[4][9] In 2018 the school achieved a 91% standard pass in English Language and Maths (9-4 grades), an improvement of 4.5% on the scores from 2017.

Other languages such as Japanese, Italian, Chinese, Russian, Swedish, Magyar and Polish were available as extra-curricular activities.

In July 2020 the head teacher, Paul Cowley, sent a circular letter to parents accusing their children of not engaging or working hard enough during the lockdown imposed in the UK as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

[13] Parents complained to the press that the school had failed to provide adequate online teaching over the same period.

Parents also complained that the letter was accusing them for not engaging their children (blaming them for the schools failing); one parent in particular complained that he was a key worker who had worked 'tirelessly' in a hospital and did not have time to help his child engage, something the school did not appreciate.
