Ormond was born in Epsom, Surrey, the daughter of Josephine who was a laboratory technician and John Ormond, a stockbroker. Ormond is the fifth 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 one year of art school she was transferred to Webber-Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art and graduated in 1988. Ormond first made an appearance on British TV in the show Traffik that focused on the illegal drug trade that stretches from the far East to the streets of Europe. Ormond played the heroin-addicted daughter of the main character, a Home Office minister who was involved in fighting heroin importation. This first appearance earned him rave reviews.
