Ormond was born in Epsom (Surrey) as the daughter Josephine who is a laboratory technician and John Ormond. Ormond is the fifth of five children born to her parents. She was educated in private schools, at first Guildford High School and then Cranleigh School, where early performance in Guys and Dolls and My Fair Lady began to draw attention. After a year in arts school, she transferred to Webber-Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art which she attended until 1988. Ormond first appeared on British television in the 1989 show Traffik that focused on the illegal heroin trade from the far East to the streets of Europe. Ormond was the heroin-addicted daughter of the main character, a Home Office minister who was involved in fighting heroin importation. The role was a hit and received overwhelmingly positive reviews.
