It's a great extra to the curriculum, self paced learning and allows pupils to progress in coding. I like that it's not just the "game" element, but has App Maker and other tasks too. Good price for schools.
James found Codementum:
- Reduces teacher workload“Self marking, can see progress of pupil on tasks”
- Improves teaching efficiency“lesson plans are already there in terms of challenges / App maker”
- Improves teacher knowledge“No”
- Improves attainment“Pupils can see their progress and like working towards the end of challenges”
- Builds student knowledge

Really fun way to learn code. Excellent GUI and portal. However, I was disappointed that we couldn't get clearer results from the competition i.e. a clear indication of who did and didn't complete all 30 challenges. Some students also clicked 'Start coding' instead of 'Join the competition' (an easy mistake to make as the buttons were right next to each other) , this caused problems for them and meant they couldn't progress through the levels.
Rachael Morris found Codementum:
- Reduces teacher workload“We ran the competition which meant a lesson was planned for me but quite a lot of teacher input was required as some students struggled with the task”
- Improves teaching efficiency“Students really enjoy learning to code using Codementum”
- Improves teacher knowledge“Allows me to practice my programming skills through helping to debug students solutions”
- Improves attainment“NA”
- Builds student knowledge“Students are learning programming techniques such as iteration in a fun environment”

Codementum is an excellent tool for both beginners and those wish to expand their coding knowledge. They’ve managed to make a fun, practical and unique way to learn coding which will always leave the user wanting to come back and learn some more !
Ameer found Codementum:
- Improves attainment“My brother has started to understand how coding works”
- Builds student knowledge“You learn new commands/features with every new level”
- Improves teaching efficiency and productivity“Since the user learns it the fun way, when they go back to learn it in school they will already have a head start in understanding how it works”
- Reduces teacher workload“Less workload on teachers as they need to spend less time showing examples to students since they’ve already learnt and used the code.”
- Improves teacher knowledge and skills“Since Codementum contains a vast amount of functions and resources for every language available, the teacher is bound to run into some new code or a new way of coding (for example, a more efficient way to do something)”

The website is truly amazing. There are so many activities for all age ranges. The activities are not just classwork, there are ideas to teach after school clubs with videos and lesson plans. So much effort has gone into designing a website that is easy to follow and understand Computing which many people have found difficult to comprehend.
Ali Mulla found Codementum:
- Improves attainment“It helps to simplify terms to students visually and has really practical tasks”
- Builds student knowledge“Again the tasks shared are excellent in helping students to retain common terms for the long term”
- Improves teaching efficiency and productivity“Tasks can either be set for homework or in class in order to better help students understand topics that we will cover either before or after the teaching of topics.”
- Reduces teacher workload“I like the fact that I can use it to plan what I will teach. it can help to relieve the stress of having to plan both homework tasks and classwork tasks. During the covid 19 pandemic, it has been a nice way to set tasks to teach distance learning.”
- Improves teacher knowledge and skills“Teachers that are not sure of the subject in depth can use their lesson plans and guides to help learn topics themselves before they teach them. It is an excellent resource!”
- Provides school data“it has excellent tracking capabilities over each task.”
- Improves behaviour or wellbeing“As explained above, the fact that I can spend less time planning because the resources are so well designed, It helps me save time and spend time on myself and family.”
