[edit] Schools
Loxwood Primary School was reported to have 155 children on the school roll in 2001 [1]. However many of these children are actually not from Loxwood itself, and are instead from surrounding villages, this has been attributed to the closing of other, adjacent, village schools. A nursery school is adjacent to the school.
