iCloud Photos is not an alternative storage location for your photos. iCloud is principally a file synchronisation service - and for photos, maintains an additional copy of your photos.
Your iPad will always have a local copy of photos that are synchronised with iCloud - although it is possible to configure the iPad to optimise storage and only keep a reduced-resolution copy of the original photos on your iPad.
Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support
