A list of the schools Ofsted has been sent in to inspect over an alleged plot by Muslim hard-liners to seize control of governing bodies has been published.

Birmingham City Council, which is carrying out an inquiry into the Operation Trojan Horse allegations, has made public a list of 18 schools following what it called "misinformation" in the national press coverage over the weekend.

Sir Albert Bore, council leader, also said Ofsted was not intending to publish its final inspection reports until "the first or second week of May".

He also said the council has not yet seen the draft version of the inspection reports.

Sir Albert went on to criticise the apparent leaking of an Education Funding Agency report into three city academies to a national newspaper at the weekend, and said the Government Cabinet Office had now launched an investigation to find out how the document found its way to the media.

The Trojan Horse allegations first came to light earlier this year, contained in an anonymous and unsigned letter, and have prompted separate on-going investigations by both the Department for Education (DfE) and Ofsted.

In all, 25 schools are being investigated over claims that male and female pupils were segregated, sex education banned and in one case that the al Qaida-linked firebrand Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki was praised in an assembly - the preacher was killed by a US drone strike in Yemen in 2011.
