Boy keeps getting away with bad behaviour in school

Hi there. There is a boy in my sons class age 8 /9 (year 4). He's a nice little boy most of the time but if something doesnt go his way he will start kicking and hitting people (there is no sen, I am friends with his family).
My son has come home multiple times in the past few years with bumps and bruises from this boy, and cuts from being pushed over. (he's not targeted as in bullying, it's just wrong place wrong time)
Picked my son up yesterday and this boy has punched him on the nose (nose bright red) because they lost a football game. The lunchtime supervisor removed the child from the game. The child then ran back and took another swipe at my son, knocking his glasses off.

The teacher's don't really say much to us and don't seem to think it's a big deal. But last night my husband was furious and said enough is enough now and he wants something doing.
What can be done in these instances? What can I ask the school to do? Alls that's happened before is a stern telling off from the principal

@Snugglemonster84 how's it been this week?

I know what your son relayed to you that he overheard but that REALLY isn't your concern. It's not your job to solve or understand the reasoning for the problem, it's the school's responsibility to safeguard your child and all children from this violence whilst in the school's care. That is your only concern.

You need paper trails.
Report every incident in writing.
Any time your child comes home with a bruise he attributes to this child, ask the school why they aren't following procedures and recording the incident and informing you in the proper fashion.
Ask how they are going to safeguard your child.
