No they won't. If you use iCloud for photos, when you delete them from the iPad, they will go to a recently deleted folder and hang out there for 30 days, so you have the option to restore them if you want. Or you can go to the recently deleted folder and deleted them immediately. But when you do, they will also be deleted from iCloud. iCloud is not a storage service. It is a backup service. But it backs up what is current, not what was in the past. If these are photos you want to keep, but not on your iPad, store them somewhere else, like Amazon Photos, Google Photos, or a folder on your home computer. Then you can safely delete them from the iPad.
