If using iCloud Photos, go to Settings->Photos->Download and Keep Originals.

If the option is not visible there, then you are either not not using iCloud Photos, and as such all your Photos are already on your iPad or are not Optimizing the photos on iCloud and as such the originals are also already on your iPad.

Once they have been downloaded, or if no "Download and keep originals" option appears, turn off the iCloud Photo Library switch there. Then open a Web Browser, and go to https://icloud.com. Open the Photos App on the website and delete all the photos from there. Make sure iCloud Photos is turned off on the iPad and any other device you wish to continue having your photos.
