Where the future grows

A place where children can feel proud of who they are, and excited about who they might become.

Welcome to Seamab

We provide safe, caring homes and specialist education for children and young people from across Scotland who have experienced significant adversity. Every child deserves the chance to feel safe, accepted and happy.

Our therapeutic approach combines care, education and specialist support to help children recover from trauma and reach their full potential.

What we do

Residential care

Homely, nurturing environments where children aged 5-18 can feel safe and loved. Our experienced teams use trauma-informed approaches to support each child's journey.

Specialist education

A personalised, flexible curriculum that is tailored to the individual pupil's needs. Small classes, therapeutic support and outdoor learning help children to re-engage with education.

Therapeutic support

Our multi-disciplinary team includes an educational psychologist, play therapists and speech and language specialist who work collaboratively to support every child.

Our new school, built for belonging

Our new £6 million purpose-built school opened in early 2026, creating a calm, trauma-informed environment designed specifically around how our children learn best.

For more than 40 years, Seamab has supported children who have experienced significant adversity. This school brings that experience to life— providing spaces that promote safety, regulation, curiosity and progress as part of everyday learning.

“Seeing the architect’s drawings become real spaces, designed around how our children learn best, is incredibly moving. This building will help our young people feel safe, regulate and re-engage with learning. It simply would not exist without an exceptionally generous community of supporters across Scotland and the UK.”

Stuart Provan, Chief Executive
