In Year one

[Rachel Adams]

Should "year" be capitalized in my sentence and can I use "in grade one" in the first grade/year instead?

"She was given a computer in Year one. She doesn't keep a lot of information in her PC."

Is there any difference between in my PC and on my PC and do native speakers say grade/year 1 instead of one?

I see no need for a capital, and grade strikes me as fine.

In most schools at which I taught in England we capitalised the Y and used the figure. not the word: Year 1.

We don't use the word 'grade' in that sense in the UK.

If you're going to write the figure as a word, then either both should be capitalised or neither.

So "in Year One", "in Year 1", "in year one". Right?
