Rice Lane Primary School and Nursery is a 3-form inclusive primary school in Liverpool with 606 pupils on roll, including a Nursery provision and a specialist SEND resource base.

Staff wellbeing and professional development are central to our ethos. We invest in ongoing training, provide opportunities for career progression, and support staff through a culture of teamwork and mutual respect.
We value the contribution of every member of staff and work hard to ensure Rice Lane is a positive and supportive place to work.
