I'm currently doing a project at school to help children with ADHD. If anyone has any relevant information or experiences with coping with ADHD in school please leave a message here. Thanks!

1. Let them chew chewing gum! 2. Make sure the class rooms are adequately cooled!

Loads, probably.
Just try to remember they're compelled to squeeze novelty from the environment. If the teacher isn't providing that sense of novelty, they will likely invent it themselves.

Allow to fidget and get up at walk around.
Combine learning with physical activity.
Physical activity.
Don’t penalise, understand.
Offer rewards before as well as after tasks.
Small steps

Don’t use classrooms? Take them out into the forest... Let them design the curriculum. Be flexible - keep lessons no longer than ten minutes, but if it’s going well be prepared for a late night!
I think the old adage below applies to everyone but perhaps particularly to ADD/ADHD kids:
“Tell me and I’ll forget. Show me and I’ll remember. Involve me and I’ll understand.”

Personally I think I'd of benefited from a bit of help & understanding more in my teenage years
Or at least those r the years I'm more bitter about. I'm still not really sure why I got expelled
