Ormond was born in Epsom, Surrey, the daughter of Josephine an engineer, and John Ormond, a stockbroker. She is the second of five children for her parents. She attended private schools, first Guildford High School and then Cranleigh School, where early leading performances in Guys and Dolls and My Fair Lady started to attract attention. After one year at art school, she was enrolled to Webber-Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art which she attended until 1988. Ormond made her first appearance on British TV's 1989 show Traffik. It was about the illegal trade in heroin between the far East and the streets of Europe. Ormond was the addicted daughter of the main character, a Home Office minister in the UK government engaged in combating heroin importation. This was her first film role and was praised by the critics as a success.
