Jenner's School is a grade II* listed former school in Bath Road, Cricklade, Wiltshire, England. It was built in 1652 of limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and a stone slate roof. It was founded by Robert Jenner (died 1651), a goldsmith of London, by a legacy from his estate. There is a monument to Jenner in the north aisle of the parish church, St Sampson's.
The school had closed by c. 1690. From 1719 the building was the parish workhouse, and it was enlarged in 1726–7. In 1840 most of the building was bought for use as a school, which became St Sampson's National School, and then in 1923 an infants' school.
