p=(2^3)
print "Prime field P=",p
F.<a> = GF(p);F
K.<b> = F.extension(x^2+(a^2+a+1)*x +a^2) ;K

when i run the code following error obtained on my macbook sage terminal and sage math cloud

Prime field P= 8
Finite Field in a of size 2^3

You didn't define "x", so your result depends on what its value happens to be. What the error indicates (although perhaps not so clearly) is that you need:

 Fx.<x>=F[]

before the definition of K.
