Tribal Group is pleased to announce the acquisition of the business and assets
of The Cambridgeshire Partnership.  The Cambridgeshire Partnership is a well
established and respected education consultancy partnership based in
Huntingdon and Leicester.  Its principal areas of activity comprise OFSTED

The Cambridgeshire Partnership will become a division of Tribal Education
Limited which has been formed to capitalise on partnership contracts with
LEAs, other public sector organisations and schools.

The consideration of £200,000 is to be satisfied by the issue of 46,850
ordinary shares of 5p each in Tribal Group ('New Tribal Group Shares') and £
74,910 in cash.

Application has been made for admission of the New Tribal Group Shares to
trading on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange ('
AIM').  It is expected that the New Tribal Group Shares will commence trading
on AIM on 17 May 2001.  The New Tribal Group Shares will rank pari passu in
all respects with the existing ordinary shares of the Company.

Commenting on this announcement, Henry Pitman, Chief Executive of Tribal Group
said:

'We are delighted that The Cambridgeshire Partnership has joined Tribal
Education.  This acquisition will accelerate the development of work in
support of Local Education Authorities and schools.  Tribal is now actively
involved with over 20 LEAs in England.'
