Grade as a verb is used across both British and American English (e.g. The teacher graded the exam papers).
However, grade as noun is only American. Americans will say "I am in sixth grade" while somebody using British English will say "I am in Year 6".
Thus, to answer your final question, British English uses the word "year" instead of "grade".
