Pre-Primary- You can start from 2 and there is no exam anymore, it is a very basic class where there is actually not alot of dancing but more preparation for dancing.
Primary- The next step up
Grade 1- the real dancing starts but is still very basic. (First grade you can take exams in.)
Grade 2- This is the year Character dancing is also added into the Exam
Grade 3- gets a little harder. (Hardest exam until grade 6)
Grade 4- Starts to get more to a beginning/intermediate level of dancing
Grade 5- continues(The Grade I am in)
Grade 6- requires skill, but still not incredibly challenging.

What is the difference between cecchetti ballet and ballet?
There is not just Cechetti Ballet and Ballet. You learn a ballet syllabus, there are many different ones. When you take an exam it is from an exam board for example Cecchetti but there are many others such as R.A.D., I.D.T.A. and I.S.T.D. However Cecchetti and RAD (Royal Ballet) seem to be the most common. Cechetti grades are a lot more technically demanding and are considered harder. Grade 3 in Cecchetti would be equivalent to a Grade 4 or 5 in RAD. Cecchetti is also a lot harder to get a high mark in. You cannot compare exam results from Cecchetti and RAD fairly. There is more focus on alignment and poise in Cecchetti than in RAD which becomes more useful if you want to become a professional. Some positions such as 'epaule' are only included in Cecchetti. I personally think Cecchetti is slightly better than RAD and all the others, having trained in RAD and Cechetti.

There are two main kinds of ballet. These are cecchetti ballet which is more flowing and gentle and there is RAD which developed later on. RAD isn't as smooth and is more strong. I recommend cecchetti ballet. I have done both.

Do you have to be really good at ballet to get into rad?
well to do a course of royal academy of dance, you can start to learn before you start school (2-3 years old). i do RAD ballet at a normal local dance school and to start you don't have to know anything about ballet. BUT to get into the original school in London you have to qualify to be a professional, so YES in that case you do have to be very GOOD! =] hope this helped =]
