Ormond was born in Epsom (Surrey) as the daughter Josephine Ormond, who works as a laboratory technician and John Ormond. She is the second 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 started to attract attention. After a single year of art school she was transferred to Webber-Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art where she graduated in 1988. Ormond first made an appearance in British TV in the serial Traffik, about the illegal drug trade that stretches from the far East to the streets of Europe. Ormond played the drug-addicted son of the main character, a Home Office minister working to combat heroin importation. This was Ormond's first role and was praised by the critics as a success.
