Former Queen Alexandra College performing arts student Poppy Barrett has appeared in the final episode of BBC period drama ‘Call the Midwife’ which aired on Sunday evening (3 March 2019).
Poppy, who studied BTEC Performing Arts at the specialist college between 2014 and 2017, starred as Jane, the girlfriend of Reggie, during the final scenes beneath the mirrorball at Shelagh’s charity dance as series eight came to an emotional end.
