My kids are in S1 and S2 in a Scottish state school. They get virtually no homework is this the norm? I mean is it the same in other Scottish schools?

M Dd has had hardly any too. She is in S2. Ds is at primary school and gets some every evening

Ds didn't get much in S1 and S2 - maybe half an hour a few nights a week. Sometimes a bit more, sometimes less. I'm a bit vague as ds was (and still is) very good at just getting on with it, so we never oversaw it.

He's now in S5 with a good set of Nat 5s behind him - so the lack of homework doesn't seem to have harmed him.

Homework has increased progressively since S3.
