ADHD medication

My son was diagnosed with ADHD some years ago and is on medication. We did not want him statemented or the school to know about the diagnosis. I have experience of discrimination due to an ADHD diagnosis. He is in Secondary school and due to go on a residential. He definitely needs the medication but I still don't want the school to know. Does anyone know anything about administering medicines on school trips.

If he's on methylphenidate might have to let them know. It's a controlled drug and they may want it to be locked away until needed. That was always the case with it in the schools my son went to but it may vary - does your school have anything on their website about medication?
