Ormond was born in Epsom, Surrey, the daughter of Josephine the laboratory technician, and John Ormond, a stockbroker. Ormond is the second of five children born to her parents. She attended private schools, first Guildford High School and then Cranleigh School, where early lead performances in Guys and Dolls and My Fair Lady started to attract attention. After one year of arts school, she transferred to Webber-Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art which she attended until 1988, when she graduated. Ormond first made an appearance in British television in the 1989 series Traffik which focused on the illegal heroin trade that flows from the far East to the streets of Europe. Ormond played the heroin addicted daughter of the main character, a Home Office minister working to combat heroin importation. This role received glowing reviews right from the start.
