In February 2010, Loxford gained attention due to the anti-semitic views of some of the school's Muslim students.

A student whose name has been left undisclosed was probed by the police for creating a Facebook group in order for them and their friends to express their hatred of Jewish people.

This Facebook group gained over 500 members in two weeks and discussions in the group included accounts of the students engaging in anti-semitic behaviour, including assault.

Commenters to the Facebook group frequently mentioned jihad and used Quranic justifications for their beliefs.
