There is definatly NO CERTAIN GRADE, it depends on the strangth and tecnique the student has.
Genreraly students go on pointe when they reach Intermediate Foundation but this isn't a definite limit.
The student must be doing Ballet for at least 3 years and doing 4 classes a week.
(I am in grade 5 and have been doing pointe work for a year now, but i think it was way to early and i am causing damage to my feet. i have also only been dancing for 1 year.)

When can you go on pointe?
My teacher recommends going on when you start 6th grade. Teachers may vary with when you should go on. But you can always ask. But in any case you should always have experience in dance; and you must have strong ankles. I would recommend starting Pointe when you are in 6th grade. It is the just right age. Reference: I started at that grade. Hope this helps.
What grade do you wear pointe shoes in RAD?
In RAD, you start wearing pointe shoes in Intermediate Foundation.
What grade in ballet do you get pointe shoes?
It can vary depending on where you live, how your grading system works and which dance school you go to. Mainly, you start pointe-work at grade 5 and carry on through grade 6, plus any more grades after that if you are still dancing.
What grade of ballerina do you have to be to use pointe shoes?
in R.A.D grading, intermediate foundation,
How many ballet grades are there and which grade do you normally start pointe work?
Acutally - it depends on where you go. If you dance with BTDA for example, it goes to grade 5, then intermediate and up. If, like myself, you dance with the royal ballet school, it goes to grade 8. pointe work does not start at a specific grade. I dance with the North Wales School of Dance and really, the pointe work strats around grade 5. But the ballet teachers will only let you start if they think that you are ready (ankles are strong, point is good) You really have to work hard and pointe is quite dangerous, you can brake your ankles.
