How would you explain ‘bread and board’ in the context?
Father said: “We are going out to the school. They said it’s the best to start right away, in your situation.” He spoke slowly, as if “situation” meant a boy with a damaged brain. “It’s bread and board. You’ll bunk there with your pals, Harry.”
How would you explain ‘bread and board’ in the context?
By the way, what’s the meaning of ‘bunk’ in the last sentence?
Thanks!

It means meals and a place to sleep are included.
"Bunk" means to sleep.

A bunk is a bed, so saying - you'll bunk there with your pals means that you can sleep there with
your pals. The bunk house is like a dormitory with a number of beds, a sleeping room.
"It's bread and board" means you will be fed, you will be given food to eat (bread) and you will be given a place to stay and a place to sleep (board).
If you are a 'boarder' in someone's home, then you pay for 'room and board'. You pay to have a room in someone's house and you sleep there and are given food.

That type of school, where the children live and sleep, is commonly called a "boarding school." Such schools are sometimes sought by parents who don't like to spend time with their kids, or who are not good at parenting.
