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. Her early appearances in Guys and Dolls and My Fair Lady attracted attention. She later attended Cranleigh School and Guildford High School. After a year in art school she was transferred to Webber-Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art where she graduated in 1988. Ormond first appeared on British TV in the series Traffik which focused on the illegal heroin trade from the Far East into the streets of Europe. Ormond played the heroin addicted daughter of the character and was also a Home Office minister working to stop heroin imports. The role was a hit and received overwhelmingly positive reviews.
