How do I get my child into an oversubscribed Reception class?

We moved too late for admissions. All the schools that I can get to (I don't drive and have 2 under 5s and one on the way) are full. The eldest is supposed to be in Reception.

He has a statement of SEN with full-time support. We have hired a tutor who has a masters in child development and a tutor who trained as a speech and language therapist and would hope the school would take them on as they are cheaper.

Is getting him with his provision impossible? Does the 'support' have to be a qualified teacher ( given that many teachers don't have to be qualified any longer?!)

I would appreciate any help.
