We had no homework in primary school (to age 11) and then a ton probably peaking in the Upper 5th (grade 10) because that was the big year for 'O' levels and I, and many others, had as many as ten examinable subjects. It eased up a bit in the Sixth Form because we were taking fewer subjects which meant free periods in regular class time which could be used for independent study as well as just having fewer subjects. Still, it was homework pretty much every night and weekends. It just wasn't quite as brutal as Upper 5th. At all times there was a clear expectation that we were reading in addition to set texts.
