Ormond was born in Epsom, Surrey, the daughter of Josephine, a laboratory technician and John Ormond, a stockbroker. She is the second of five children to her parents. She went to private schools, initially Guildford High School and then Cranleigh School, where early lead performances in Guys and Dolls and My Fair Lady began to draw attention. After a year in art school she was transferred to Webber-Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art where she was graduated in 1988. Ormond was first seen on British TV in the series Traffik. This show focused on the illegal trade in heroin that was thriving from the Far East to Europe. Ormond was the heroin addicted daughter of the main character, who was a Home Office minister who was involved in the fight against heroin importation. This role was highly praised at the outset.
