Ormond was born in Epsom (Surrey) as the daughter of Josephine Ormond, who works as an assistant technician in the laboratory and John Ormond. Ormond is the fifth of five children born to her parents. She attended private schools, first Guildford High School and then Cranleigh School, where early stage performances like Guys and Dolls and My Fair Lady began to attract attention. After one year of art school, she was enrolled to Webber-Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art and graduated in 1988. Ormond first appeared on British television in the 1989 serial Traffik. The series was centered on the illegal trade in heroin that was thriving from the Far East up to Europe. Ormond played the heroin addicted daughter of the lead character and was also a Home Office minister working to combat the importation of heroin. The role was a hit and received overwhelmingly positive reviews.
