Ormond was born in Epsom, Surrey, the daughter of Josephine who was a laboratory technician, and John Ormond, a stockbroker. Ormond is the second of five children to her parents. First, she attended Guildford High School and then Cranleigh School. There, her first lead roles in Guys and Dolls and My Fair Lady were noticed. After a year in art school she was transferred to Webber-Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art and graduated in 1988. Ormond made her debut appearance on British television's 1989 drama Traffik. It was about illegal heroin trade between the far East and the streets of Europe. Ormond was the heroin-addicted kid of the leading character, the Home Office minister working to stop the importation of heroin. The role was a hit and received overwhelmingly positive reviews.
