The education trust at the centre of the alleged "Trojan Horse" plot has hit back saying schools "do not promote extremism".
David Hughes, vice-chairman of the Park View Educational Trust has confirmed their three schools have been placed in special measures following Ofsted inspections.
Speaking ahead of the official release of details of Ofsted spot checks on 21 schools in the wake of allegations of an Islamic fundamentalist takeover at Birmingham's schools, Mr Hughes said he "wholeheartedly rejects" the findings.
It was disclosed by the Government on Sunday that Park View Academy, its sister school Golden Hillock and Nansen Primary School were found by Ofsted inspectors to be in need of special measures.
Mr Hughes confirmed the Ofsted findings on Monday morning and said the speed at which the schools had been condemned was "truly shocking".
He said the trust would be looking to mount a legal challenge to the findings and insisted the inspections were carried out in a "climate of suspicion".
He said his schools "do not tolerate or promote extremism" and the inspection results and inquiry into Islamist extremism in Birmingham put Muslim children at "substantial risk of not being accepted".
Oldknow School, a primary school, and Saltley, a secondary school, which are overseen by Birmingham City Council have also been found to be in need of special measures.
Staff at Oldknow School told inspectors they had been ordered to put on an Easter assembly and Christian activities when they discovered they were to be inspected.
Downing Street released findings of the key Ofsted reports on Sunday and announced David Cameron had ordered Michael Gove to start "dawn raid" inspections after schools were found to be covering up evidence of Islamist infiltration.
The developments come after a damaging spat between the Education Secretary and the Home Secretary over how the Government should deal with Islamic extremism.
In comments leaked to The Times newspaper last week, Michael Gove accused the Home Office of failing to properly tackle with extremism - leaving it until it turned into terrorism.
Theresa May's camp responded by leaking a letter she had written to Michael Gove asking why his department had failed to act in 2010 when the allegations of Islamist infiltration in Birmingham schools had first been raised.
