Salutations stanfromharrogate,

There are a few places to make some changes -

1. On your iPad sign out of iMessage. Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, then tap your Apple ID and sign out.

2. On your iPhone in Settings > Messages turn off your iPad under Text Message Forwarding.

3. If enabled, disable Messages for iCloud on your iPad in Settings > your name > iCloud > Messages.

Thanks.
