I think she is unable to cope up with something in school and she uses lies as her means to coping with her situation, she needs an emotional support, I feel that you shouldn't be giving her any gifts or any external rewards or incentives simple understanding about what is going wrong in the school, talking to her freely, giving her reassurance will help.

Children sometimes lie because of fear or for acceptance and approval. You must discuss with her that her behaviour is bothering you and you would like to help her in every possible way, this may help her in opening up and share her concerns. Instead of showering gifts and giving her money, provide her your time and emotional Connection. Inculcate the goor values by setting an example yourself. Make sure you or your spouse don't lie for anything in front of her.
