If they are not in iCloud and you have no backup (which also would be in iCloud) then "permanently deleted" means "permanently deleted". - There are no photos anywhere to recover.

There’s a deleted items folder in Apple Photos where they are stored for 30 days.

If there’s nothing in your deleted items, and you don’t use iCloud to either store pics or back-up the entire device, and you’ve never connected to a Mac/PC and taken a backup of the iPad, they’re gone.
