    PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    9 June 2008

    NORD ANGLIA EDUCATION PLC 

    The Board of Nord Anglia notes recent press speculation and confirms it has received an approach regarding a possible offer for the
Company at 450p per share in cash. After consultation with a number of shareholders, the Board, which has been advised by Hawkpoint Partners
Limited, has rejected the approach which it does not believe reflects the strong growth prospects of the Company.

    In accordance with Rule 2.10 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Code"), Nord Anglia confirms that it has 39,885,807
ordinary shares of 5 pence each in issue and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange under the UK ISIN code GB0006582729. Nord
Anglia does not hold any shares in treasury.

    This announcement is being made without the agreement or approval of any potential offeror. There can be no certainty that any offer
will be made nor as to the terms on which any offer might be made.

exclusively for Nord Anglia and its Directors and no one else in connection with this matter and will not be responsible to anyone other

    Dealing Disclosure Requirements

    Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Code, if any person is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any
class of "relevant securities" of Nord Anglia, all "dealings" in any "relevant securities" of Nord Anglia (including by means of an option
in respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 pm (London
time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on which the
offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the "offer period" otherwise
ends. If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an "interest" in
"relevant securities" of Nord Anglia they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3. 

    Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant securities" of Nord Anglia by the potential offeror or Nord
Anglia or by any of their respective "associates", must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London business day
following the date of the relevant transaction. 

    A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of
such securities in issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk. 

    "Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in
the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an "interest" by virtue of the ownership or control of
securities, or by virtue of any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities. 

    Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the Takeover Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to
whether or not you are required to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, you should consult the Takeover Panel.
