Ormond was born in Epsom (Surrey) as the daughter of Josephine who works as a lab technician as well as John Ormond. She is the fifth of five children to her parents. Her first performances in Guys and Dolls and My Fair Lady attracted attention. She then attended Cranleigh School and Guildford High School. After a short time in art school, she transferred to Webber-Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art which she completed in 1988. Ormond first appeared on British TV in the show Traffik which focused on the illegal heroin trade from the far East to the streets of Europe. Ormond was the addicted daughter of the main character, a Home Office minister in the UK government fighting heroin importation. This was her first film role and was praised by the critics as a success.
