She went to private school, first Guildford High School and then Cranleigh School, where early leading performances in Guys and Dolls and My Fair Lady began to draw attention. After one year of art school , she was moved to Webber-Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art which she completed in 1988. Ormond made her debut appearance on British television's 1989 serial Traffik. It focused on illegal heroin trade between the Far East and the streets of Europe.

This was Ormond's first role and was praised by the critics as a success.
