Damaged phone at school

Hi, my ds has come home from secondary school this evening with a smashed screen on his phone. His phone has to remain in his bag all day - shcool rules - and he assures me that he did not drop it. I'm not being suckered in by a lie and am sure that he is telling the truth. His bag is left by the entrance to the lunch hall with others and he seems pretty certain that someone kicked his bag, therefore breaking the phone. Unfortunately for him, he's having some trouble with another child - today he tripped and pushed ds leaving a bruise and lump on his head. This is not the first time. My ds is not claiming that this boy kicked his bag, though he has seen him do it before along with some others. What (if anything) can I expect of the school? I'm guessing that it'll be a talk about respecting other people's property, not sure what else they can do. Any thought/ ideas greatly welcomed.

a similar thing happened to me today. The corridors in my high school are hell, some kids were barging through... they shoved me into the corner of a doorframe (my phone was in the back pocket of my bag) and smashed my phone and crushed my glasses case. I don't expect the school to pay for it, but i will get them to check the cameras and hopefully get the kid to pay (im not very optimistic though as some kid stole my brothers £70 squash racket the other day, they said they would check the security cameras but apparently haven't found anything yet, despite the fact that people saw it getting stolen).
